Up2date from FC2 does *not* work ok with a repository created by a
previous createrepo (tested beginning of June).  Adrian pointed me to
something I should change to make the method be enabled in up2date
(it is disabled by default), but although it then could parse the
repo line in rhn/sources, up2date failed at some point.
