I'm moving this here from from the QA list. For those who missed the original thread, it's linked from the bug report.
Not fixing the subject, sadly. no RPM issue here; possibly a patching strategy issue in specspo
also by you filed at: http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3517
which bug notes at the end:
Packages with inappropriate translations include rhnlib, rhn-client-tools, rhnsd, rhn-setup-gnome, and mysqlclient10. This list is incomplete; the specspo patch is in need of a full review
and a couple more things jump out at me. By and large, I see NO dark art here, requiring that such a review and proposed fix cannot be done by anyone, diffing the present upstream original and the last shipped patches (once CentOS variant SRPMs are retrievable), and ...
frankly, who _cares_ to install packages which ** cannot ** work as upstream does not release the server side sources for the RHN, such that we cannot replicate it (it not being clear that we have a desire as a project to so proceed)
I would apply a 'lazy fix', next time we have occasion to visit the underlying packages, at most
