Hi,

it seems you have created a new rpm 
BIOS_XH65F_LN_2.8.2_01-2.8.2-20.09.01.noarch but it doesn't seem to 
contain a new BIOS version compared to 
BIOS_XH65F_LN_2.8.2_01-2.8.2-20.09.00.noarch -- is this normal? This 
also means that now I have the bios files in /usr/libexec/dell_dup; 
usually those would be deleted by dsu after applying the update.
