Hmmm
Command line error: no such option: --showduplicates

I'm not looking for an auto-update system, I'm just trying to understand the one
that is currently running (yum-updatesd and whomever is listening on the other
end of dbus).
It seems to work for the most part, but I want to understand why some packages
don't get upgraded. A partial answer I got to that was that such packages would
be from non-enabled repos, but when I do a "yum upgrade clamav" from the command
line, it works fine -- doesn't that mean that the repo *IS* enabled?
