Have been running 5.4 x86_64 for a couple of months now. Every once in a while, I would get a notice that updates were available.
It appears that about 3 weeks ago, yum stopped notifying me of updates. Over that time, I've manually done a 'yum update' from a command line, with an output that there are no updates.
I know this cannot be true, because I watch the 'centOS-announce Digest' messages come through and see that there are updates for my installation.
I tried 'yum clean all' followed by another 'yum update' and still no updates are listed as available.
I have the priorities plugin installed and here is the output I get:
[root@desk ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: ftp.lug.udel.edu * base: mirror.rackspace.com * centosplus: mirrors.netdna.com * extras: ftp.lug.udel.edu * rpmforge: fr2.rpmfind.net * updates: mirrors.adams.net 598 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up Update Process No Packages marked for Update [root@desk ~]#
Here is the contents of CentOS-Base.repo:
[root@desk yum.repos.d]# cat CentOS-Base.repo # CentOS-Base.repo # # The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the # update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and # geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates # unless you are manually picking other mirrors. # # If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the # remarked out baseurl= line instead. # #

What is wrong?
