let me guess. You're using the mirror lists? If you are then probably whatever mirror it hit when you were running check-update was not in sync with the mirror master. Reopen the bug if this is not the case. I'm using the default configuration, does that use mirror lists? How long time does it take for a mirror to get the updates? Some of them had been available for two days when I noticed the problem. the default configuration does use mirror lists. Some of the mirrors are just not being updated anymore or only update once a week. hence, the problem. In that case I see two solutions. Either outdated mirrors should be removed from the default configuration. Or yum should download enough information from the master to be able to detect an outdated mirror and use another. If this is not a bug in yum, it must be a bug in the mirror list. Changing component from yum to fedora-release. It's not a fedora-release bug, either. If anything it's an RFE against yum. There's nothing here that is a bug at all. But a feature request that may or may not be fulfilled. The cachecookie stuff helps here and there is work underway to improve the mirror infrastructure. |
