This package count appears to include patches and patch sets. I'm not sure if that's the cause of the problem, but I do know the count is incorrect.
Robin, close this if it's not a bug.
There is ongoing debate about how to handle this. Stay tuned.
It sounds like this is the plan: Change the 'Errata' and 'Packages' columns to a single 'Updates' column. For linux systems, the format will be: packages/errata For a solaris system: Packages/Patches/Patch Sets Also, provide a tooltip for each link explaining what it is linking to.
bumping to rhn410
Created attachment 116527 [details] A suggestion for how the updates column could be made clearer with icons in the system list
new Sol component created/QA contact should be mspevack if not already
MáirÃn, could it also display a exclamation mark in the column status ?
(In reply to comment #7) > MáirÃn, could it also display a exclamation mark in the column status ? Hi Oliver, I don't think an exclamation mark in the status column would be appropriate if there are patches or patch sets available for a Solaris system since this is commonly a desired state. However, I agree that the mockup in comment 5 is misleading in that the Linux systems that have packages/errata available should have an exclamation mark displayed.
