Problem with some RPM's

Hello,

I've got the following problem with some RPM's from IBM for the Tivoli 
Storage Manager Software:

When I add them to a channel on my current server, anything run's well 
until a machine want's to fetch the header for one of those packages. I 
get then the following error Message:

Fetching rpm headers...
There was a fatal error communicating with the server.  The message was:
404: "Not Found" while attempting to get
$RHN/lmugar-i386-7.3/getPackageHeader/TIVsm-BA-5.1.5-0.i386.hdr

After some investigation I found out, that getPackageHeader directory 
contain's indeed the files, but without the version number:

[root@etprd02 getPackageHeader]# ls TIV*
TIVguid.i386.hdr              TIVsm-BA.GPFS.i386.hdr
TIVsm-API.i386.hdr            TIVsm-BA.i386.hdr
TIVsm-API.msg.de_DE.i386.hdr  TIVsm-BA.msg.de_DE.i386.hdr
TIVsm-API.msg.es_ES.i386.hdr  TIVsm-BA.msg.es_ES.i386.hdr
TIVsm-API.msg.fr_FR.i386.hdr  TIVsm-BA.msg.fr_FR.i386.hdr
TIVsm-API.msg.it_IT.i386.hdr  TIVsm-BA.msg.it_IT.i386.hdr
TIVsm-API.msg.ja_JP.i386.hdr  TIVsm-BA.msg.ja_JP.i386.hdr
TIVsm-API.msg.ko_KR.i386.hdr  TIVsm-BA.msg.ko_KR.i386.hdr
TIVsm-API.msg.pt_BR.i386.hdr  TIVsm-BA.msg.pt_BR.i386.hdr
TIVsm-API.msg.zh_CN.i386.hdr  TIVsm-BA.msg.zh_CN.i386.hdr
TIVsm-API.msg.zh_TW.i386.hdr  TIVsm-BA.msg.zh_TW.i386.hdr

Also the original files do not contain the version number in the name.
That are the rpm's:

[cdadmin@bagheera RPMS]$ ls TIV*
TIVguid.i386.rpm              TIVsm-API.msg.ko_KR.i386.rpm 
TIVsm-BA.msg.fr_FR.i386.rpm
TIVsm-API.i386.rpm            TIVsm-API.msg.pt_BR.i386.rpm 
TIVsm-BA.msg.it_IT.i386.rpm
TIVsm-API.msg.de_DE.i386.rpm  TIVsm-API.msg.zh_CN.i386.rpm 
TIVsm-BA.msg.ja_JP.i386.rpm
TIVsm-API.msg.es_ES.i386.rpm  TIVsm-API.msg.zh_TW.i386.rpm 
TIVsm-BA.msg.ko_KR.i386.rpm
TIVsm-API.msg.fr_FR.i386.rpm  TIVsm-BA.i386.rpm 
TIVsm-BA.msg.pt_BR.i386.rpm
TIVsm-API.msg.it_IT.i386.rpm  TIVsm-BA.msg.de_DE.i386.rpm 
TIVsm-BA.msg.zh_CN.i386.rpm
TIVsm-API.msg.ja_JP.i386.rpm  TIVsm-BA.msg.es_ES.i386.rpm 
TIVsm-BA.msg.zh_TW.i386.rpm



So I suspect that IBM built their RPM's with the version number in the 
file name, but distributed them differently.

Of course I could change the filename's of the RPM's and then recreate 
the channel as a workaround.

But do you think we could do something inside current to get around this 
problem, like not creating the .hdr file's from the filename but instead 
according to the data inside the RPM?

Sincerely,
