That package has never been installed, although centos-release is.
I've brought up a copy of the VM before the customer got their hands
on it and it has centos-release not redhat-release, and still works.

The template VM has:
distroverpkg=redhat-release
and still works..
09:02:39 <+Filbert> grifferz: as a followup to my hantslug post,
"yum whatprovides redhat-release" is a useful check, too
On the template VM this shows centos-release. On the customer's
machine yum doesn't even run:
# yum
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/yum", line 28, in ?
import yummain
File "/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py", line 31, in ?
from yum.i18n import to_unicode
ImportError: cannot import name to_unicode
and I see the binary was modified today.. so I'm going to write this
off as screwed beyond repair by someone other than me, who can fix
it for themselves. :)
Thanks for the help!
Cheers,
Andy
