Title: Weird Update notification after upgrading to 8.0
Post by: Mntsnow 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

Code: [Select]

yum update

read carefully what you have in front of you before hitting Y :-)
