reproducer: # rpm -q qt qt-4.6.2-17.el6.x86_64 What happens: # yum --advisory RHSA-2011:1323 info updates <snip> Limiting package lists to security relevant ones Advisory "RHSA-2011:1323" not found applicable for this system No packages needed for security; 6 packages available What should happen: yum should install qt version 4.6.2-17.el6_1.1 Looking at the timestamps, the advisory finished pushing at 1:55pm, the rhnsync cron job ran at 2pm, and the updatinfo.xml file has a timestamp of 2:11pm. So, it appears what happened is that rhnsync ran during the window between packages being available in the channel and the channel's yum repodata getting updated. For now, I'll force a re-generation of the cdn repodata which will pull in the newer updateinfo from RHN. Longer-term solution may need to wait for new pub/pulp process as this isn't a case we can easily fix through the cron job. I'll think about it more over the weekend.
