Foreman client upgrade instructions are wrong

The Release Notes for Katello 3.9 point to upgrade instructions which are broken.

If you drop down for EPEL 7 (Centos etc) you get this:

yum update -y https://yum.theforeman.org/client//el7/x86_64/foreman-client-release.rpm

which errors with Cannot open: https://yum.theforeman.org/client/el7/x86_64/foreman-client-release.rpm. Skipping.
Looks like there’s a missing version number in that URI.

yum update -y https://yum.theforeman.org/client/1.20/el7/x86_64/foreman-client-release.rpm

Also, now that I’ve run that and found it doesn’t work because I’m not upgrading the foreman client - I need to install it apparently, that could be more clearly explained on the original release notes - it looks like the problem also exists on the installation notes page.

Thanks. We will look into this as it appears to be an error in how the docs are being generated. As you noticed, it should be /client/1.20 now.
