Topic: Yum update not working?!

[EdelingF]

I found out my SME is not updating properly. It simply says there no updates available.
I've tried switching options on and off, did "yum clean all" and altered yum.conf to see what would be the result. But still no updates available.
I think this is since July or August.

I found out my SME is not updating properly. It simply says there no updates available.

That doesn't mean it's not updating properly, it just means there are no updates available.

Check the repositories are configured correctly.
Here's my system's settings.
Also there are no updates available at present.

You're right, it's possible there are no updates, but I think there's something wrong with the CentOS repositories. In server-manager the option CentOS is enabled, but the lines

Finished seem to say something else. But "db yum_repositories show" looks allright:

The configuration of CentOS repos shows certain packages are excluded from being updated.
You don't want these from CentOS as sme specifc ones are released by the developers.
