Packages
— Total number of package updates for the system. Includes packages from Errata Alerts
as well as newer packages that are not from Errata Alerts. For example, if a system is subscribed
to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 i386 channel that contains version 2.5.4 of a package because
that is the version that shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, but the system has version 2.5.2
of the package installed, the newer version of the package will be in the list of updated packages
for the system.
Important
If the RHN website identifies package updates for the system, yet the Red Hat Update Agent
responds with "Your system is fully updated" when run, a conflict likely exists in the system’s pack-
age profile or in the
up2date
configuration file. To resolve the conflict, either schedule a package
list update or remove the packages from the Package Exceptions list for the Red Hat Update
Agent . Refer to Section 6.4.2.6 System Details or Section 2.4.1.3 Package Exceptions Settings ,
respectively, for instructions.
