yum update not see packages

Post by KenIAH » 2021/01/13 13:40:09

Hi,

My server has centos_updates repo added, but when I run yum update, it doesn't see the new kernel nor the new packages.

I've looked online and it appears that the packages are available in: centos-release-7-9.2009.1.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm

Do I need to do something to make this rpm available in updates? Why does it not appear in the centos_updates, or is this just a timing issue?

Thanks for any help

First of all, what CentOS release are you running currently?

Code: Select all

cat /etc/centos-release
And what version of centos-release is installed?

Code: Select all

rpm -q centos-release
Further, is the updates repo really enabled?

Code: Select all

yum -q repolist

If your updates repo is called centos_updates then it sounds like it's not using a CentOS mirror. You should check what it is using and if it is up to date.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

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

Why do you think there are uninstalled updates?

There was a new kernel (3.10.0-1160.11.1) released
around 22 Dec, and a handful others rpms on 18 Dec.
You can list newest installed packages with this:
rpm -qa --last | more

I've checked using rpm -qa --last | more and the most recent patches applied were on Dec 16th, so the most recent kernel and patches aren't listed at all.

Is there someway that I need to refresh the repository to see the changes?

This is strange. Can you access mirrorlist.centos.org?

Code: Select all

curl 'http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=7&arch=x86_64&repo=updates&infra=stock'
Do you get any errors when updating yum cache?

Code: Select all

sudo yum clean all
sudo yum -v makecache
