Save the text file and import it into your keyring using the method applicable to your version of RPM.
2.3.2. Manual Package Installation
If you chose to download, but not install, the software updates with the
Red Hat Update Agent
or from
the RHN website, you must install them manually using RPM.
To install them, change to the directory that contains the downloaded packages. The default directory
is
/var/spool/up2date
. Type the command
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
. When the packages finish
installing, you can delete them if you wish. You do not need them anymore.
After installing the packages, you must update your System Profile so that you are not prompted to
download them again. Refer to
Section 2.3.3, “Synchronizing Your System Profile”
for details.
2.3.3. Synchronizing Your System Profile
If you configured the
Red Hat Update Agent
to install the latest packages, the System Profile stored
by Red Hat Network is updated after the packages are installed. However, if you only download
the latest RPM packages using the
Red Hat Update Agent
, download the RPM packages from
the website, or upgrade/install/remove RPM packages yourself, your System Profile is not updated
automatically. You must send your updated System Profile to the RHN Servers.
To synchronize the RPM package list on your local system and on Red Hat Network, run the
command:
up2date -p
After running this command, your RHN System Profile reflects the latest software versions installed on
your system.
2.3.4. Log File
The
Red Hat Update Agent
keeps a log of all the actions that it performs on your system in the
file
/var/log/up2date
. It uses the standard rotating log method. Thus, older logs are in
/var/
