    Hello,

    Every time I'm notified by email of updates available:

    Yum update says:

    No Packages marked for Update.

    After a:

    # yum clean metadata

    # yum clean all

    Yum update says:

    Yes Packages marked for Update.

    Anyone know how I can fix this?

 Hi Ron what version of Fedora are you using? how did you query for
updates? Did you use yum update or the gui system? Can you use the
manual way and copy what happened to this list? That should find a
solution.
