Simon, echo "v7.004" /etc/version will set your ASG back one level (not sure whether it is v7.004 or 7.004. That will then allow you to apply the update. Give the system a couple of minutes to register the change back otherwise you will get an error "failed update".

A couple of weeks ago we had a support case where the customer manually edited the version file but didn't get the syntax right. This utterly broke the system and rendered it unusable, the support teams weren't able to spot it directly, until it was escalated to RnD at last.
Toying with things you are not supposed to toy with can lead to serious downtimes. This hack will help in Simon's case, because RPM versions are always increased from BETA up2dates to the final, official up2date, but it will NOT work when repeating regular system up2dates. The command is `echo " 7.004" > /etc/version` (a space in front, no 'v').
