I don't have a RHEL5 subscription to RHN to replicate your problem so
here are some questions.
- Where's that Yum repo pointing to ?
RHN's standard repo
- Have you tried to manually, from the gateway server, fetch that package ?
- Do you see any network traffic at all (use tcpdump to filter packets
for the repo) ?
I'm wondering if something in iptables changed with the 5.3->5.4
upgrade. I actually manage the system remotely via ssh, and it's
obviously letting me in. iptables forward/routes packets per the
firewall rules, and *some* outgoing connections work fine (e.g., the
housekeeping connection to the yum repo--it does query the repo, learn
what's new, and validate its oficial RedHat entitlement to updates). It
just can't download them. And, outgoing ssh/ftp/other connections also
fail.
I expect I'll need to find a set of hands on site to shut down iptables
and see if that clears it.
Thanks.
