You can try: yum check-update You must have configured your /etc/yum.repos.d/ file.. to right repository..

To: Fedora List <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <1114448296.4048.10.camel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain In an effort to keep things neat I noticed this option and ran it. Now however when I go to get and update then I get the message (No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion). Up2date says there are 4 available. I normally check for updates with it and then apply them with yum. So have I screwed up what Yum knows about the system by doing a -clean all? If so how do I repair it?
