Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Candace Sheremeta 2017-04-24 22:21:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
yum list-sec and yum update-minimal do not show or install all available security updates when RHEL 6/7 Server Optional repo is enabled

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.8 and 7.3 (please let me know if I need to open another BZ for 7.3)

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a RHEL6u8
2. enable repos:
rhel-6-server-optional-rpms     
rhel-6-server-rpms     
rhel-6-server-satellite-tools-6.2-rpms   
3. yum updateinfo info RHSA-2017:0184 OR yum update --advisory RHSA-2017:0184 --assumeno (this will fail)
4. disable optional repo
5. clean cache
6. yum updateinfo info RHSA-2017:0184 OR yum update --advisory RHSA-2017:0184 --assumeno (this will succeed)

Actual results:
# yum updateinfo info RHSA-2017:0184
Loaded plugins: package_upload, product-id, search-disabled-repos, security, subscription-manager
rhel-6-server-optional-rpms     
rhel-6-server-rpms     
rhel-6-server-satellite-tools-6.2-rpms
No update information found for "RHSA-2017:0184"

# yum update --advisory RHSA-2017:0184 --assumeno 
Loaded plugins: package_upload, product-id, search-disabled-repos, security, subscription-manager
Setting up Update Process
rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
rhel-6-server-rpms
rhel-6-server-satellite-tools-6.2-rpms
Resolving Dependencies
Limiting packages to security relevant ones
Advisory "RHSA-2017:0184" not found applicable for this system
No packages needed for security; 187 packages available

Expected results:
Would like this to work

Additional info:
N/A
Comment 2 Mike McCune 2017-06-01 19:32:08 UTC 
A clear example of this behavior:

[root@ibm-x3650m4-01-vm-14 ~]# yum --disablerepo rhel-6-server-optional-rpms list-sec | wc -l
1839

[root@ibm-x3650m4-01-vm-14 ~]# yum list-sec | wc -l
603

if you disable the optional repo in the listing of security errata, it works fine, but with it enabled you miss a huge portion of the errata
