More information: When I invoke the graphical version of online update, under the summary heading, I see a green checkmark followed by summary information.
Dusting off a few brain cells, I seem to remember this happening ocassionally for one or two patches at a time. This system has 27 patches that appear to be in this state. Ron -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Yast not auto selecting all security and recommended patches Date: Fri, 14 Oct 2011 15:29:48 -0500 From: Ron Foster at Baldor-IS <rfos...@baldor.com> Organization: Baldor Electric Company To: Linux on 390 Port <LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU> Hello listers, I was in the process of verifying that the proper patches were installed on a group of servers that were freshly upgraded from SLES10SP3 to SLES10SP4. When I went into online update, I noticed several patches that were classified as security or recommended that were not auto selected. They were for modules that we do have installed. I was under the impression that security or recommended patches were automatically selected. When I go rummage around the YaST documentation on the Novell site, it seems to indicate that the actions for security and recommended patches were automatically set. If I manually select a patch, I get installation finished in the progress log, but none of the other indiations that a patch is actually applied (like messages indicating things were being downloaded, or patches applied. Any ideas as to what is going on? Should I manually apply these fixes? Anybody else run into this problem?
