Same problem over here, using rhn-applet-2.1.7-1. up2date and yum consider that the yum rpm is up to date. rhn-applet however thinks that yum-2.0.402.fd.fr (from freshrpms) is more recent than yum-2.0.4-2 and shows it as an available update. up2date and rhn-applet should use the same algorithm to decide which package is more recent and that is apparently not the case.

rhn-applet showing yum as needing an update

up2date not showing yum for update
The disagreement about the yum update has been analyzed, it comes from the fact that Fedora yum is a noarch package, while freshrpms build it as an i386 package. The applet consider it's okay to upgrade it, while up2date doesn't. It's unclear what the correct behaviour should be in the general case. Adrian Likins knows about it, it's an open issue at the moment. Suggesting the freshrpms people to actually build yum as a noarch package would at least solve this specific problem. Daniel I have ClamAV 0.71 installed on my computer. I added ClamAV to my rhn sources file. The lines are this: yum crash-hat http://crash.fce.vutbr.cz/crash-hat/1 #yum crash-test http://crash.fce.vutbr.cz/crash-hat/testing/1 RHN applet thinks that there is a new version out of ClamAV. However, neither yum nor up2date detect the new release. I checked the repository, and it is in there. Something is amiss... Not sure if this is the same, but it sounds similar... In my case, rhn-applet is reporting 5 updates as needed whereas up2date and yum say that my system is up-to-date. The interesting part is that the "5" updates show up in the rhn-applet window as only one package -- "kernel-doc" with 5 available versions of the package (the most recent being a 2.6.7 version). The rhn-applet reports this no matter who I am logged in as. Is there a "cache" for the rhn-applet somewhere that needs to be cleaned up and, if so, where is it? Fedora Core 1 is maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thanks! NOTE: Fedora Core 1 is reaching the final end of support even by the Legacy project. After Fedora Core 6 Test 2 is released (currently scheduled for July 26th), there will be no more security updates for FC1. Please use these next two weeks to upgrade any remaining FC1 systems to a current release. |
