Good morning,
We're experiencing a 'strange' issue after installing RHEL 6 from the DVD media. It appears that there's two (2) different repository listings for a great deal of the installed packages. However, there are issues showing up such as :
==================================================
php: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: no version information available (required by php)
php: /usr/lib/libxml2.so.2: no version information available (required by php)

I check the `libxml2` installation:

==================================================
The issue here (it appears) is the repository : rhel-x86_64-server-6 vs anaconda-RedHatEnterpriseLinux-201009221801.x86_64...
I don't have a single clue as to 'how' this may have occurred during the installation, as I didn't execute or monitor the process. My question would be, is there any way that I can correct this with having to reimage the whole damn system (again!)? Can any/all of the packages pointing to the `anaconda-RedHatEnterpriseLinux-201009221801.x86_64` install to use the RHN Support repository (`rhel-x86_64-server-6`)? I have the feeling this is most likely a) something that I'm not alone in seeing and b) corrected by some process and/or command(s) that are just not apparent to me at this point in time...
Any/all input is greatly appreciated, and please let me know if I've not included anything relevant to the issues here that would help out. Thanx SO MUCH in advance for the assistance!!!
