Dear Red Hat,

Why on earth did you release yum-rhn-plugin and kernel errata nearly back 
to back today knowing that the kernel errata would fail due to a 
yum-rhn-plugin bug?

And worsely (if that is a word), the errata for yum-rhn-plugin is terribly 
vague, contains no bugzilla entries and doesn't communicate how things 
were broken.

just says:

Topic

An updated yum-rhn-plugin package that fixes errata updates is now 
available.

Looking at the package changelog, you see this:

  2007-04-30 22:00:00 Shannon Hughes <shughes at redhat.com> - 0.4.3-2:
- Patch to fix errata updates
- Resolves: #238445

Ah yes, a private bugzilla entry:

http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=238445

Its like flying blind out here :(
