[TriLUG] Really Weird "up2date" RPM info (RedHat)

[Byarlay, Wayne A.]

Eh... Well I thought they were weird at first because I had not received
any notifications from RHE. But they were backlogged.

Plus I was confused on the "version" and "release" columns.

Thanks for straightening me out.

..And NO, I do NOT wish they never came out! :) up2date r0x0rs, as they
say.

How are those weird?

You'd rather updates were never released? ;)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 6 was just recently released. You're
probably seeing the updated packages that belong to that update set. 

The release notes are available at
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/release-note
s/as-x86/RELEASE-NOTES-U6-x86-en.html
