[rhn-users] Installing a package

[Christopher L. Barnard]

nope.  From an up2date --showall I see that I needed to add "i386" to
the end of the rpm name...

[root at webdev] /root # up2date --showall | grep gcc
[...]
gcc-3.2.3-59.i386
[...]

However, I still cannot add it...

[root at webdev] /root # up2date --install gcc-3.2.3-59.i386

Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-i386-as-3...

Fetching rpm headers...
