I had a network connection interrupted while running yum update on a remote server. The last line displayed showed 189/3?? updated. Subsequently I reconnected and now yum reports that there is nothing to do:

Setting up Upgrade Process Setting up repositories update 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 addons 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 extras 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion

Is there any simple way to check what the actual state of that machine is or to force yum to reapply all outstanding updates regardless of whether they are already installed or not?

Regards, Jim
