Re: RHN not synching with up2date

[Ed Westphal <enwestph rochester rr com>]

Don't know if there is any correlation, but I'm suspicious. Almost a
month ago, RH did a great deal of updating. System worked very well up
to that point. The network traffic was agonizing in it's slowness. I
hung in there and let it do it's thing. Afterwards, a number of small
annoying problems seemed to be evident that weren't there earlier. I've
corrected most of them. This mis-synching was one of those annoying
ones. Now, if only someone can tell me what happened to ARTSD, ALSA, and
most every other sound driver for CD's, I'll be happy for now. I have a
bugzilla request in on it, but the silence is deafening. Take care all.
