Fedora Users — Re: A DIFFERENT yum/up2date problem...

I am absolutely baffled. /var/log/yum.log shows all of these packages were updated at 5:26 a.m. this morning. I was sound asleep at that time -- and unless my dogs have picked up Linux, no one else did it. My system time is accurately synced to ntp, and crontab is empty for all users.

I ran "nohup up2date -u" from the command line the day before, and nohup.out showed a failure. Does up2date include some sort of periodic retry logic?

If not, the only thing I can think of is that yesterday's process took 12 hours to successfully finish the download on a broadband connection, and I looked at the wrong nohup.out to check the results.

Or you could just look in the logs. :-)
