So, can somebody explain this sequence of Yum runs to me? These are all run back to back. I first do a "yum list updates." Yum tells me that the libpng packages are due for update. I then run "yum -y update" to get them all, and it tells me that there are no packages available for update and no actions to take. Then, I run it again ("yum -y update") and it goes ahead and does the update. I have had this happen to me a few times so far. Problem with yum? Problem with my config? This is on a stock FC1 system with all patches applied up till now.
