Two weeks ago I installed 8.0beta7 onto a HP DC7800 machine and then did a restore (150GB) all went well, except that updates are not working. I am not receiving any emails re updates (my backup emails are working fine) “Update are available” not appearing in Software Installer.
I have ran yum clean all and then yum update – response is “No Packages marked for Update”.
At the same location I loaded a machine with 8.0beta7 and using yum update it downloaded and installed updates fine.
I also have a machine running 8.0beta7 at my home/office and it updates fine.
This is what I'm getting when I run "yum update" from the
NON updating machine
[root@sme7 ~]# yum update

Any help would be appreciated, I have not filled out a bug report as yet. With 2 machines running fine I thought there may be something I can do to fix the faulty updater.
