I have been rebuilding the "ksh" RPM starting in RHEL5.0 (thru RHEL5.5) to change the behavior of he builtin "echo" command. This has never been an issue, I just plunk the rebuilt RPM file down in our local YUM repo, run createrepo and a 'yum update' will detect the package and install it, replacing the existing ksh package.
For some reason I can't figure out, this is not working in RHEL6... I was able to rebuild it fine, but after putting everything in place, 'yum check-update' does not see it. The command I used to rebuild is: rpmbuild --define 'dist .el6' -bb ksh.spec I've tried re-running the createrepo, running 'yum clean all', etc... no luck.
