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.
