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 ~]#

Did you check that those digest takled about a Centos 5 version of an application specificaly installed on your server...? The latests updates I have in my local repository are from November the 28th... kdelibs-devel-3.5.4-25.el5.centos.1.x86_64.rpm kdelibs-devel-3.5.4-25.el5.centos.1.i386.rpm kdelibs-3.5.4-25.el5.centos.1.x86_64.rpm kdelibs-3.5.4-25.el5.centos.1.i386.rpm kdelibs-apidocs-3.5.4-25.el5.centos.1.x86_64.rpm kexec-tools-1.102pre-77.el5.3.x86_64.rpm system-config-lvm-1.1.5-1.0.el5_4.1.noarch.rpm openswan-doc-2.6.21-5.el5_4.1.x86_64.rpm openswan-2.6.21-5.el5_4.1.x86_64.rpm xterm-215-8.el5_4.1.x86_64.rpm metacity-2.16.0-12.el5_4.1.x86_64.rpm metacity-2.16.0-12.el5_4.1.i386.rpm

So...maybe I'm just an IA guy with a worrying problem. I'm used to my Windoze boxes updating nearly every time I boot them. I'm also used to Fedora 10 and 11 which seem to have updates every two or three days.

I think your just worrying. According to the announce list archives ( http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/), there haven't been any updates released for CentOS 5 since Nov. 27th.
