Description of problem: Install nagios-plugins-check-updates, then install some 3.x-Kernel in parallel to 2.x-Kernel. The Plugin will report: CRIT - CHECK_UPDATES CRITICAL - your machine is running kernel 3.8.13-44.1.3 but a newer version (2.6.32-504) is installed: you should reboot, no updates available Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): nagios-plugins-check-updates-1.6.3-1.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install nagios-plugins-check-updates; Install 3.x-Kernel along 2.x-Kernel 2. call /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/check_updates 3. Actual results: CRIT - CHECK_UPDATES CRITICAL - your machine is running kernel 3.8.13-44.1.3 but a newer version (2.6.32-504) is installed: you should reboot, no updates available Expected results: If 3.x-Kernel running: OK; if 2.x-Kernel running: OK too, if it is the last kernel in this line. If there is a kernel with a version number greater than the running one installed and it is within the same line report for reboot. Additional info:
Same with el5 and epel7
Seems PackageKit has the same problem, reporting an out of date 3.x-Kernel is an 2.x-Kernel is installed too.
Created attachment 951918 [details] Patched check_updates I've patched check_updates to work with Oracle uek-Kernels.
Hi, Could you try to duplicate the problem with version 1.6.9 ? It's currently available in the testing repositories. To upgrade just execute the following command: * yum update --enablerepo=epel-testing nagios-plugins-check-updates or just download the rpm * https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/testing/6/x86_64/nagios-plugins-check-updates-1.6.9-1.el6.x86_64.rpm and manually install it (rpm -Fvh ...) Could you also list the kernel rpms that you have installed on your system (rpm -q kernel) ? Regards, jpo
