Does apt preclude the continued use of RedHat's up2date tool?No, but you'll need to execute up2date -p to update the package list on
RHN. Also, if you do what I did and install kde-redhat.sf.net's KDE
packages, they're named differently. So RHN will think KDE will need to
be updated even when it doesn't. I have that problem with kde and gaim.
The more current packages that I have installed are named differently
than RHN's, so RHN will think they need to be updated.
Sorry, but I can't confirm that. This week I installed kde v. 3.1.2 from kde-redhat.sf.net, and I just did an "up2date" which only gave me a new unzip package. No kde packages were marked as to be updated, although Redhat have put up a new set recently due to a security issue. Klaus
Hmmm... Have you ever executed 'up2date -p'?
As I understand it, up2date -p synchronizes RHN's list of fixes that are pending on my box with the actual state of my rpm database.
According to "my" RHN, there is only one erratum pending: the kernel, which I never update via up2date.
