[rhn-users] Cant update packages after upgrade from RHE4 to RHE5

[Hiren Patel]

thanks for posting the solution.

what is the logic behind this? if one is missing child channels then
some packages in the system will not have available updates right, and
they might depend on the current versions of packages that do have
updates, preventing packages that have updates from being updated?
