Topic: SME Server 7.x Update problem

[crusader]

I have a problem with my update system on the sme 7.0.
After I click on the "software installer" Link in the server-manager I get this message:

Updates Available
There are updates available for your system. These updates should be installed as soon as possible.

When I try to install the new updates with the "Install new updates" button I get this:

The following updates are available for your system. You should normally install all available updates. If there are updates you do not wish to install, de-select them from the list below.
Updates available.

Below that lines I have not a single update package listed, where could be the problem, a friend told me to do an updatedb, which I have done, but no effect, my yum_updates file lists a lot of packages which have to be updated but none shows up in the server-manager.

Any help would be great.

What release are you using? Is this perhaps SME7.0 RC1? I had an issue like that using a SME7 RC1, and reported a bug for it. In newer releases the issue is fixed.

If I think what it is you and you have command line access you can easily work around by issue the following commands on the command line:

Code: [Select]

yum updateThis will probably take a while as it will update your system as it would by command line normally. After the command has finished go to the server manager and issue a reconfigure under the Shutdown and Reboot options.

After the system has come up you should have no updates available anymore as they should all be applied.

Thank you, yes I'm running RC1.
I'll try this right now.
