Hello,
The rebuild errata for SL4 x86_64 is coming out.  Although we did rebuild 
everything but the kernel and kernel-modules, not everything *had* to be rebuilt.
For those packages that had to be rebuilt, we have renamed the package to have 
an sl in the name.  We have also rebuilt them for i386, so that the naming is 
the same for both i386 and x86_64. Those packages are

libxslt
nss_ldap
mysql
thunderbird

nss_ldap already went out last week.

We have done a detailed examination of the rpm's, but if you feel we missed 
something, please let us know.

Troy
