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.

Fixed In Version: yum-utils-1.1.31-50.el7
Doc Type: Release Note
Doc Text:
The "yum versionlock" plug-in now displays which packages are blocked when running the "yum update" command Previously, the "yum versionlock" plug-in, which is used to lock RPM packages, did not display any information about packages excluded from the update. Consequently, users were not warned that such packages will not be updated when running the "yum update" command. With this update, "yum versionlock" has been changed. The plug-in now prints a message about how many package updates are being excluded. In addition, the new "status" subcommand has been added to the plug-in. The "yum versionlock status" command prints the list of available package updates blocked by the plug-in.

How reproducible:
always

Additional Infos:
Example:


# yum update
