I see this a lot as well, and which mirror(s) it happens on at any given time seems to be random. I think it has happened with every version of yum/up2date that has existed in FC2T1. Also, today when I had this problem I checked one of the mirrors that it happened with using gftp; I browsed to the appropriate directories, and there were the headers and then the packages. I thought maybe the packages weren't there, but I was wrong. If I wait a few hours the problem usually goes away. Another observation that may help pin this down, it also happens if I run yum from the command line. I believe yum is the behind-the-scenes workhorse for up2date, right? I hope my comments have been helpful. For some reason the icon was reporting 4 updates while up2date and yum could only find 3. The package in question was switchdesk-4.0.1-1.1 and switchdesk-gui-4.0.1-1.1. Manually downloading them and doing an rpm -U got things back in sync. Don't understand why they were filtered out. The problem has not occured for me lately. I would guess that it is an issue with the mirrors not being fully syncd with the master Redhat site. Closing out bug. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040210 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: When running the up2date Alert tool, it finds 93 available updates. When I run the actual up2date program, it says that I am completely up to date. Runnung "yum update" finds (and installs) the 93 updates with no problems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): up2date-4.3.11-2.1.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run System Tools --> Red Hat Network Alert iconn 2.Verify number of available updates 3.Run up2date Actual Results: Reulsts between the two similar utilities do not correspond Expected Results: up2date should download and install all available updates. Additional info: Rating severity as High, due to the fact that up2date is the primary update mechanism for the Fedora Core 2 testing.
