was having this same problem a while ago when that version was
released. I made a patch that will fix the issue that I would like
to share with everyone here.
The architecture type is calculated in many ways I noticed which was
my first clue, the first way it uses directories (either as i386 or
x86_64 and ia64 I believe from looking at the source codes.), the 2nd
way is thathe 3rd way is looking for a certain rpm file.
(Kernel-header) of course in RHEL4 the kernel-header rpm does not
exist. I still find it very weird that the software could not deduct
that if the rpm did not exist fall back to using another method of
checking but what the heck. :-P
The only thing I did was in action_import.py make another statement to
look for a RHEL4 version rpm, an rpm specific to RHEL4.. I used the
code for the search pattern that is used in RHEL5 (kernel-header).
Please review my patch for inclusion, as it fixes that problem.
Excellent. I'm away from my development setup this week (class stuff),
so I'll test this out and patch it early next week.
There's also an open defect on the WebUI and repo management to
investigate, so this may make a likely candidate for an 0.8.3.
Thanks!
