Fedora FC1. Configured several yum repos in /etc/rhn/sysconfig/sources.
rhn-applet shows several updates pending.
up2date says "Your system is up to date".
I changed the repos in /etc/rhn/sysconfig/sources several times but still got "Your system is up to date".
Manually running "yum check-updates" gives the same list of updates displayed by rhn-applet.
Watching up2date with ethereal reveals that it does a GET for header.info with an "If-modified-since" header with a very recent timestamp. When it receives 304 Not Modified, it appears to decide nothing's needed.
Question:
Where does up2date cache header.info, and how does it determine the timestamp to use in the "If-modified-since"?
I suspect my header.info is 'cache poisoned' with a newer version from a mirror that doesn't yet have the updates.
