Ah, that's good to know. I had just assumed that the system always tried to upgrade in sync. > I forgot to provide a fix/solution for you... > > If you do not have yum-conf-sl7x install it. > If it is installed, do a 'yum reinstall yum-conf-sl7x'. This reinstall seems to have been the fix. I had to spread checking and updating/rebooting across two maintenance windows, but this is the only actual change I made that hadn't been done before. After this I did a 'yum clean all' and 'rm -rf /var/cache/yum' before another run of 'yum check-update'. That time it found a list of 269 packages to be updated and brought the system up to 7.5 when they were installed. > yum-conf-sl7x and sl-release.

Some poking with find and I came up with /usr/libexec/sl-release/set-slrelease.sh which looks to do what you describe. Thank you very much for the help! I now have a fully updated and patched server again.

Do you have yum-conf-sl7x installed?

I forgot to provide a fix/solution for you... If you do not have yum-conf-sl7x install it. If it is installed, do a 'yum reinstall yum-conf-sl7x'. Alternately, change /etc/yum/vars/slreleasever to contain 7x The output of 'yum repolist all' should list the sl repositories as 7x instead of 7.3. This might happen because the slreleasever file is provided by both yum-conf-sl7x and sl-release. There is an rpm trigger to (hopefully) handle this gracefully. See /var/libexec/sl-release/set-release.sh.

System running SL 7 fails to update certain packages
I've got a server running SL 7.3 and while it has installed many updates including recent ones under the 7.5 update, it is not installing all updates to a full SL 7.5 system.
