Weird Update notification after upgrading to 8.0
« on: September 03, 2012, 05:12:42 PM »
Hello,

Upgraded one of my 7.6 boxes to 8.0 and the last couple of days I have been getting a email notification  that says

===
=== yum reports available updates:
===
Obsoleting Packages
giflib.i386                            4.1.3-7.3.3.el5                 base     
    libungif.i386                      4.1.3-1.el4.2                   installed
giflib-utils.i386                      4.1.3-7.3.3.el5                 base     
    libungif-progs.i386                4.1.3-1.el4.2                   installed

But when I login to the server manager and go to software installer nothing is listed there and it says "this system is up to date"

What should I do?

Thanks for helping a newbie

log in into root's shell and

log in into root's shell and ...

Logging in to root shell should not be necessary. Before doing anything else OP should report the problem via the bug tracker, so that the problem can be diagnosed and fixed.

There is already an entry for it, but it somehow seems to be unconfirmed, see http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7012 and it was also reported in an earlier bug which was closed by Shad: http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6940#c3
