On REIL we had 3.6 rc3 installed. Trying to upgrade to 3.6.0-1 EE gold is causing some difficulty. Attempting to yum update or reinstall returns:
Package matching hpccsystems-platform-enterprise-3.6.0.x86_64 already installed. Checking for update.
Nothing to do

Basically the same for an rpm upgrade:
rpm -Uvh hpccsystems-platform_enterprise-3.6.0-1.el5.x86_64.rpm
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
package hpccsystems-platform-enterprise-3.6.0.x86_64 (which is newer than hpccsystems-platform-enterprise-3.6.0.x86_64) is already installed

I believe this is because of the name and release are unchanged between rc and gold.

Before the upgrade, with 3.6 rc3 EE:
