Yum update questions
« on: April 06, 2007, 04:58:22 PM »
Hi,
I recently had to manually change the kernal that sme was booting to due to a vpn issue an update caused.  Once i set grub to boot to the previous one it worked fine.  for the life of me I can not remember updating sme after this and now im am a little concerned.  Mainley because i have an identical machine that had the same thing happen and it is telling me that it has updates available but the original one is not.  So I ran yum clean all and then yum update and this is what i get back.

[root@sme ~]# yum clean all

The part that worries me is the line that says it is excluding packages from centos - os.  Is this correct?  should i be looking deeper into this to find out what is happening?

Thanks for your help.

This is normal. It excludes kernel.
"It should just work" if it doesn't report it. Thanks!
