David,
right now I am on build 108 and I just decided to go for b111. So I ran the updatemanager (on my for several days every day suspended/resumed laptop). With that I only see that updatemanager offers me updates, based on b110. Hmm... So I ran packagemanager, but see the same. So logged out/in - no change. I restarted the updatemanager/packagemanager - no change.

Now I rebootet the laptop and ran again the updatemanager and yes, now it shows me updates, based on b111. Has anyone seen this too ? Why do I have to reboot to tell the updatemanager to really look for news and not look into his cache. Any comments or is this is bug ?

The updatemanager only refreshes every so often via a cron job for performance and other reasons.

If you want the absolute latest information about updates, you'll have to manually run "pfexec pkg refresh" or click the "reload" button in packagemanger to see them.

It sounds like there's an RFE here for updatemanager to have a "refresh/reload" button as well.

Cheers,
