[LON-CAPA-admin] CHECKRPMs

A couple weeks ago there was discussion about the CHECKRPMs command not
working and giving an output similar to what I've attached to the bottom of
this e-mail.  I think the suggestion had something to do with telling
LON-CAPA to check a different mirror for these updates, but I'm not sure.

If anyone else had this problem and fixed it, please let me know what you
did.

You may now wish to visit the /tmp/loncapa_rpm_updates directory and upgrade
the RPMs.
If this is a critical server (it is currently being used for classes) and
you do not know how to upgrade RPMs, you should consult someone who has
experience with the "rpm" command.
