Hi Andreas,
They look the same as SL 52 packages because they are the same.  Which 
always makes me suspicious on a major upgrade like this.  We did need to 
update the prelink for SL 50, but that is already in the security errata 
from an earlier security errata.

I personally do not use autoconfig and do not know how much this is 
going to impact people.  How prevalent is this?

It looks like the bug isn't even being worked on yet, even though it is 
over a month old.  Part of me wants to wait, but another part of me 
hates holding up a critical security errata.  And this one I've already 
messed up and let it slip a couple of days.

What if I sent out the security errata with a warning that says to put 
the link there if you need to run autoconfig?
