weird rpm - 7.5.4 upgrade

[nero0247]

I am trying to update from 7.5.3 to 7.5.4 on rhes3. I cant find the rpm needed to upgrade. i did find a sh4 rpm which during installation it told me that the rpm needed was already installed (not the sh4 but openssh = 3.6.1p2-33.30.1). I am stuck and hope to see if anyone has a solution.


Preparing for packages installation...

Looks like you'd have to uninstall the openssh-askpass-gnome-3.6.1p2-33.30.1 and openssh-askpass-3.6.1p2-33.30.1 packages, or upgrade them to openssh-askpass-gnome-3.6.1p2-33.30.4 and openssh-askpass-3.6.1p2-33.30.4 since the new openSSH it is trying to install is version openssh-3.6.1p2-33.30.4

Probably easier to uninstall them, do the updater, then use up2date or yum to re-install them afterwards (if the updater doesn't already do it).
