Looking thru my yum email logs today, I noticed that ten of my SL 4.4 systems (I have some 40 SL 4.4 systems - servers of one form or another - all nearly identical installations) had big updates to the tune of something over 140 packages.
Odd, I thought since I had not received anything of late from the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list relating to SL4. I wondered why my other 30 systems had not updated, so I went to a couple and did a 'yum update' and they came back with "No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion". How odd. What's going on, I wondered. Then I did a 'cat /etc/redhat-release' on a system that had the 140 updates and on one that did not and noticed that the ones with the updates are now at SL 4.6 while the other 30 are still SL 4.4. So, why did 1/4 of my systems suddenly decide to update themselves to SL 4.6 and the other 3/4 did not - not even with a manual 'yum update' ?? - Larry -- P.
