Title: Upgrading fom SME 9.1 to 9.2: inconsistent update reports
Post by: turandot on May 04, 2017, 07:56:47 PM

Today I have updated my first productive server from SME 9.1 to 9.2 by the console update yum update followed by signal-event post-upgrade and signal-event reboot. Afterwards I see on the console the following:

Code: [Select]

In other words: all updates should have been installed. However on the WebGUI (server manager) I see a different picture, see attached screenshot.

Trying to install the available updates through the server manager followed by a reconfiguration and reboot through the server manager does not resolve the situation.

What is wrong here? How can I fix this issue?

Thanks, turandot


Edit: it looks like that all updates for SME 9.2 are still shown (approx. 210 updates) in the server manager.

this is because the web page gets its info from yum_updates db, which is updated (AFAIR) during the night

the manager rely on a nightly check of the available updates. so what it shows is not up to date.

I think you point a bug not already worked on, as either one is using cli or gui but rarely both most of people won't notice this.


I just tested to update with the cli, reboot  and I can confirm it is still there in the gui.

issuing the following will make it clear
 

Code: [Select]

/usr/bin/sv o /service/yum
can you post a bug with your observation ?

this is usually run by /etc/cron.daily/smeserver-yum , but we could assume that issuing a post-upgrade should trigger this too

I confirm: the proposed command solves the issue.

I will post a bug as suggested by Jean-Philippe.

Thanks! turandot
