Topic: Yum update does not find updates

[Salmoneus]

We have two SME 7.3 servers. When I try a yum update on both servers (it's been a while) I get quite a few updates on the first server. The same command on the other server returns NO available updates, even though they were both updated at the same time last time I updated! On that server I also get a lot of these:

http://ftp.nluug.nl/os/Linux/distr/smeserver/releases/7/smeupdates/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>
Trying other mirror.

But it seems that yum finally finds a valid mirror.

To verify that server #2 is not updated I run "yum info php" (php was updated this time on server #1), and server #1 has a newer version as expected.

I don't know even how to troubleshoot this. Does anyone have an idea?

Try run a

Code: [Select]

yum clean all
then

Code: [Select]

yum update

I did that, and no change.

However, I fixed the problem. For some reason the "CentOS" repositories were not enabled as they are supposed to.
After enabling them I found the "lost" updates! Simple solution, but not obvious...

The problem with non-working mirrors were still there though. It seems as though I fixed that as well, by searching this forum. I was in a haste, so I cannot post the exact solution , but I found it under "upgrade to 7.2" in the wiki.
