Re: Supported versions

I'm guessing, but I'd imagine the new errata package renamed your old 
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/* files to *.rpmsave, and reinstalled the default rh
ones.

Note that that isn't some master plot of the rhn people, thats the way
rpm handles all config files that change. (For exactly when rpmsave
versus rpmnew files are created, consult your local rpm sources.)

I imagine reinstalling the errata, and then checking the exact config
files are what you expect them to be will solve the problem.
