Red Hat Network Errata not current

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: I have noticed on a number of recent occasions both on my basic accounts at home and the enterprise account at work that running up2date will fetch errata that have been recently released (within the past hour or two) that do not appear in the list of errata for the system running up2date and can not be scheduled using the web interface. This leads to either running up2date on critical systems or repeatedly checking Red Hat Network to see if an update is schedulable. The updates also do not appear to become available for all systems in the account at the same time. Some can have the update available, and others will not be listed as needing the update until later. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Additional info:
Current information 22 Sept 2003 09:20 alert icon is red exclamation point. The alert icon and up2date show perl-5.8.0-88.3:2 perl-CGI-2.81-88.3:2 and perl-CPAN-1.61-88.3:2 available. Red Hat Network web page shows all systems with blue check mark - no updates necessary.
A small delay is expected. Presumably, if you want to get updates as soon as they are released you can have a crontab call up2date or yum (depending on RHEL version) as frequently as once every 15 minutes. Please re-open this bug if you still have problems.
