Yesterday I attempted to service my mother-in-law's FC4 computer, which
I know needs about 100 Mb or so worth of updates -- most of that for
OpenOffice. I only have a short window of opportunity to do this since
she lives a fair distance. Each time I ran 'yum update' I would get
responses very similar to this:
[...]

Added 15 new packages, deleted 12 old in 3.45 seconds
No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion
I know she needs an openoffice update. I don't think yum is running
nightly, but I didn't check for that either, so I could be wrong. How do
I force yum to find the updates?
Take Care
How do you know it is needed? Is it possible she's already updated via
a cron job? What does "rpm -q openoffice.org-core" return? It returns
"openoffice.org.core-2.0.1.1-5.1" here. And this is from a VERY recent
update, in the day or so.
Are you looking at "updates-released", "extras", and "base"? If not
you need to configure yum so that it is.
