[CentOS] yum update info output

[Thomas Roth]

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.

Regards
Thomas
