Hi all,
when I check for updates with yum, it gives me a list of packages, with some additional info, e.g.
--> systemd-sysv-219-42.el7_4.1.x86_64 from @updates removed (updateinfo) --> systemd-sysv-219-42.el7_4.4.x86_64 from updates removed (updateinfo)
yum info will tell me that I have 4.1 of this package installed, and that 4.4 is available - from the repo updates.
What is the meaning of the "@" - it marks the older package?
And why are all packages always "removed"?
It would seem that both mentioned packages are still available...
Regards, Thomas

@updates means currently installed. updates without @ means available to be installed.
And why are all packages always "removed"?
The first one would be removed because the .4 package SHOULD be installed. Does the list of updated packages also include systemd-sysv-219-42.el7_4.4.x86_64?

Yes, both are available.
Thanks for the explanation.
Yes, I see both of these lines, including systemd-sysv-219-42.el7_4.4.x86_64, but as quoted it also has the label "removed" - that had me confused.
'yum info systemd-sysv' shows that systemd-sysv-219-42.el7_4.1 is installed - as expected. And if I run the actual update, the 4.4 package gets installed as an update - so everything is o.k.
