Fellow SL users - we are having problems creating kickstart installation
CDs for SL4.5 - our "install everything" CD fails with errors
about not being able to find some "comps-45-blah..." package.

Indeed, the package that the installer is looking for does not exist on
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/45/i386/SL/RPMS

The package that exists is comps-45-0.20070625.i386.rpm
while the installer is looking for "comps-45-20070621" or some such.

The only reference to this "comps" package I see is in
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/45/i386/SL/base/pkgorder
where the nonexistant "comps-45-0.20070621.i386.rpm" is listed.

(The 64-bit SL4.5 has the same mismatch).

The SL4.4 tree does not have any "comps-44" packages.

So what is going on here and how do we fix our kickstart CDs?

(I assume the same problem exists when installing
from the 25 CDs and selecting the option to "install all packages").
