[rhn-users] Packages not found

[LSC Ron]

The OS is a newly installed RH Enterprise 4, downloaded (using a Win2000 
system) iso's burned on a CD and installed, checksums were confirmed.

The OS works great including automatic updates. Various Applications 
were installed using
    >Applications > Systems Settings > Add/Remove Applications

I was basically loading all applications to determine how well this 
process works. My problem is with MySQL under the Package Management 
window, Servers section - "MySQL Database"
      
        Check box   [] php-mysql - A module for PHP applications that 
use MySQL databases.

The error received is:
                                                 Packages not found
                            The following packages could not be found on 
your system....
                                                php  
('php-pear','4.3.9','3.8')
                                                php  
('php-idap','4.3.9','3.8')

Using rhn to install php-idap and php-pear the message is received 
"Package already installed"

Using $ rpm -q
             php-pear is found (php-pear-4.3.9-3.8) while php-idap is 
not installed

There is a conflict in using the Application add/remove function from 
the menu.

It seems reasonable to go back and manually install php-idap but that's 
not the point. By driving the application updates from the menu all 
should work effortlessly. Quick installs and updates.

Would appreciate help in understanding this error  and  recommendations 
to get the menu working. I'm not sure if this is  a bug in this section 
or not.

Thank you to all,
-Ron
