repodata provided by Red Hat Network for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 contains non existent package

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Non-existing package in repodata.

  • Updating Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 via RHN would result in invalid repodata (comps.xml). This results in displaying "Development Tools" as "Available Groups" rather than ""Installed Groups", although "Development Tools" is already selected during installation from ISO image.
