Back
We have installed our own custom apache RPMs onto a RHEL3 server, due to
the fact that Redhat doesn't provide apache-1.3 which we need for
mod_perl and various modules that go with it. We've removed the RHEL
apache packages.
Anyway the problem is that up2date keeps wanting to update our custom
apache packages to the latest version from RHN. So an up2date -l will
show this:
Invalid metapkg id emacs-nox
Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-i386-es-3...
Fetching rpm headers...

-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- -----
httpd 2.0.46 46.2.ent

httpd-devel 2.0.46 46.2.ent

The following Packages are obsoleted by newer packages:
Name-Version-Release obsoleted by Name-Version-Release
-- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ------
apache-1.3.33-2.of httpd-2.0.46-46.2.ent
apache-devel-1.3.33-2.of httpd-devel-2.0.46-46.2.ent
The relevant entries in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date are:
pkgSkipList[comment]=A list of package names, optionally including
wildcards, to skip
pkgSkipList=kernel-modules,httpd,httpd-devel,apache,apache-devel;
removeSkipList[comment]=A list of package names, optionally including
wildcards that up2date will not remove
removeSkipList=kernel*,apache*;
However these make no difference - it still does it.
