No packages marked for update

Post by shatnersbassoon » 2022/10/05 16:20:02

Hi Everyone, I have been given a list of updates to install, CESA-2022:6160, CESA-2022:6170, CESA-2022:5052, CESA-2022:5232, CESA-2022:5235.

What I thought would work is to check for any updates and then install all of them. From my attempts below, I cannot see anything to be updated.

yum -y check-update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, ps
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile

yum -y update

No packages marked for update

I've checked this file, CentOS-Base.repo, and I can connect to the baseurl, http://olcentgbl.trafficmanager.net/cen ... es/x86_64/ using curl.

[updates]
name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$ ... fra=$infra
baseurl=http://olcentgbl.trafficmanager.net/cen ... $basearch/
gpgcheck=1

yum repolist all | grep enabled

base/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Base enabled: 10,072
extras/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Extras enabled: 517
openlogic/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - openlogic package enabled: 26
packages-microsoft-com-prod packages-microsoft-com-prod enabled: 1,415
updates/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Updates enabled: 4,182

Can you give me some guidance as to what else I can check please?

Thanks

Those are all updates going back until mid-June. I suspect the problem is that your base/updates repos both point to this Openlogic mirror which is not an official mirror and not part of the CentOS mirror network. It doesn't seem to have had any updates for months. I would uncomment the mirrorlist= line in your repo file and comment the baseurl= one so that you connect to the CentOS mirror network and not this third party one although I do not know if they add some magic benefit.

All your CESA's can be looked at on the Red Hat errata pages by changing CE to RH. For example https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2022:5937 which is a newer version of the kernel than you have listed in your CESA.

Exactly the right thing to do.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

It could be useful to contact the maintainers of that Openlogic mirror; the stale copy does not benefit anyone.
