I do run that once in a while, but it doesn't appear to be necessary (at least never has been). I'm wondering if somehow things are setup to regulate the number of systems updating by staggering updates. I can't imagine as they would have to selectively chose to disadvantage some people by delaying their patching. Probably what may have been happening is that a maximum number of connections to the repos was being reached. I was getting a single update here and there, but not complete list of updates. Might that have been the problem? At least I now know it's not the configuration of my system. That was my main concern as that is the only thing I have direct control over correcting. Thanks, Jacques B.
