Re: RHEL 5.2

["Tom Dison" <fretinator@gmail.com>]

There is no group Virtualization on 5.2. I googled the error, and found this:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/hi-all-672324/

Apparently their repositories are just off on this file, and the
suggestion was to just wait until they fixed it. This was a default
install (I didn't select packages, just chose default install), that
is why I was surprised to see this conflict. I don't use Xen, so it
doesn't hurt anything. It just annoying to keep having the security
update show up, but not be able to apply it.
