Hi all,
I have difficulties to understand the output of yum-plugin-security.
I am on a X86_64 machine and when I query for security updates, yum lists i686 packages, that I don't have installed.
-------------------- # yum check-update --security Loaded plugins: changelog, fastestmirror, security Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: centos.mirror.linuxwerk.com * epel: mirrors.n-ix.net * extras: centos.mirror.sharkservers.co.uk * updates: centos.mirror.sharkservers.co.uk Limiting package lists to security relevant ones No packages needed for security; 34 packages available
cyrus-sasl-devel.i686 2.1.23-15.el6_6.1 updates cyrus-sasl-lib.i686 2.1.23-15.el6_6.1 updates device-mapper-multipath-libs.i686 0.4.9-80.el6_6.1 updates libXfont.i686 1.4.5-4.el6_6 updates nss-softokn.i686 3.14.3-18.el6_6 updates nss-softokn-freebl.i686 3.14.3-18.el6_6 updates perl-libs.i686 4:5.10.1-136.el6_6.1 updates --------------------
I would have expected, that it will list no packages, as it's statement is "No packages needed for security"
When I run the query with no filtering on security relevant packages, it shows the X86_64 versions of the above listed packages.
Do we have a problem of inconsistent data in the repo? Are only the i686 packages marked with "security-update" flag?
