From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: rhn-applet reports that openssl095a and openssl096 need updating. When running up2date, up2date claims that the system is up2date. The rhn-applet button continues to flash red. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Update from 7.3 to 8.0 2. 3. Additional info: I updated my system at work from 7.3 to 8.0 and I don't have this problem there. The one difference is that my system at home is using a red hat network enterprise lisense where as I'm using the free update from home. To be specific, rhn-applet says that I have openssl095a-0.9.5a-16 installed and openssl095a-0.9.5a-18: is available and openssl096-0.9.6-11 is installed and openssl096-0.9.6.13: is available. I do take note of the ":" at the end of the "available" package name string.
I'm seeing the same kinda stuff here. I upgraded 7.3 to 8.0. now rhn_applet flashes red and claims I need to upgrade xinetd (xinetd-2.3.7-2 -> xinetd-2.3.9-0.83) (2.3.7-2 is indeed installed) up2date says i don't have anything to upgrade. checking updates.redhat.com shows that I don't have to upgrade xinetd. I noticed that if I run rhn_applet as root is says my system is up-to-date. If I run rhn_applet as a user it claims i need to upgrade xinetd. This used to work fine in RH 7.3 I tried removing rhn_* up2date* and reinstalling it from 8.0 cd
Seems a problem of RPM database cache incoherency left after an upgrade. We have a fix for that which will be propagated in rhn-applet >= 2.0.4 Daniel
This seems to be fixed.
