Description Dave Jones 2005-12-02 00:32:11 UTC 
This is puzzling, and I've seen it happen a few times.
First I did a yum update...

(19:19:18:root@firewall:~)# yum update

ok, so it found a bunch of packages, but it didn't update the kernel that I
built and pushed out 3 days ago. How odd. 

I run yum update again and....

Now it finds a bunch more updates.
Comment 1 Seth Vidal 2005-12-02 03:53:34 UTC 
you're using mirrorlists, right?

if so then you just hit two, out of sync, mirrors.

If you're not then reopen this.
Comment 2 Dave Jones 2005-12-02 05:09:57 UTC 
yeah that was it. thanks.
I hadn't realised we had mirrors that stayed out of sync for that long.
ho-hum.
