RE: up2date

[Steve Buehler]

If you are trying to get ALL the updates for your system you should use the 
-u along with your -d.  -d only downloads what you specifically tell it to 
download.  So unless you aren't telling us what you typed, from what you 
said here, you only typed 'up2date -d httpd'.  If you just want the httpd 
and openssl then type 'up2date -du httpd openssl'.  Also, the -d function 
tells it to just download it and not install it.

Hi All,

I just registered for an account at RedHat so I can run up2date on my
Redhat 9.0 machine.
I wanted to see what programs I needed to update first before installing
so I did a:
up2date -l

to get the list of updates available.  I noticed that my system is not up
to date so I downloaded the packages with a:
up2date -d

However, 'up2date -d' only downloaded httpd-2.0.40-21.5.i386.rpm and its
dependencies.  (the httpd that I am running now is httpd-2.0.40-21.3)
When I checked my rpm database, I noticed that the RedHat
Network has newer releases of some of my other programs, but did not get
downloaded.  For example, the newest package for openssl is
openssl-0.9.7a-5.i686, yet my machine is only running openssl-0.9.7a-2.
Can anyone tell me whether the up2date only updates new releases of a
software or new versions of a software, or both?
Thanks,
Francis
