ok, so you chased down Lutz's machine, broke into it and were able to verify his yum configs are changed or did you pull that one out of thin air.
I do suspect something is not right, since the 4.7 updates took as long as they did to get to his machine. They have been 'out there' for a fair few weeks now. And the concern that live updates within the distro broke a production machine is very much there.
From the notes on the "bug" you would have to have 4.5/os/$basearch/
instead of $releasever/os/$basearch/ to get the "bug". Also yum update or upgrade should not break anything unless you have packages from elsewhere and murked about with the configs. I have looked on the last month's list and not seen :-
- people whose machines took weeks to autoupdate. - people whose production machines were broken by 4.6 to 4.7
Clearly Lutz's situation is unique and he has not told us the whole story.
