up2date crashed during update

up2date crashed during update

Hello All,

 We  are  running  RHEL  ES 3 update 4. Ordinary web sever - no third
 party packages or heavy customizations. Server was regularly updated
 using up2date without any problems.

 Couple  of  days ago I decided to upgrade system to update5. Up2date
 downloaded headers, downloaded RPMs, upgraded couple of packages and
 then abnormally exited with error message.

 Now when I trying to run up2date it dies with the following message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 1174, in ?
   sys.exit(main() or 0)
 File "/usr/sbin/up2date", line 668, in main
   up2dateAuth.updateLoginInfo()
 File "up2dateAuth.py", line 151, in updateLoginInfo
 File "up2dateAuth.py", line 105, in login
 File "up2dateAuth.py", line 49, in maybeUpdateVersion
 File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateUtils.py", line 228, in getVersion
   release, version = getOSVersionAndRelease()
 File "/usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/up2dateUtils.py", line 221, in
getOSVersionAndRelease
   raise up2dateErrors.RpmError(
up2date_client.up2dateErrors.RpmError: RPM error.  The message was:
Could not determine what version of Red Hat Linux you are running.
If you get this error, try running

               rpm --rebuilddb

  Of course, I tried to do rpm --rebuilddb but it does not help.

  Any suggestions?

  I've  got  bunch  of  RPMs  in  /var/spool/up2date (which have been
  downloaded  by  up2date  just before it crashed). Will it be a good
  idea  to  install all of them manually or it would be better to fix
  up2date first and then apply updates usual way?
