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, imagine a client
system that has an early version of a package installed. If this client is then subscribed to the
appropriate base channel of RHN (such as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4), that channel may have an
updated version of the package. If so, the package appears in the list of available package updates.
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 package 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 6.4.2.9, “System Details”
or
Section 2.4.1.3, “Package Exceptions Settings”
,
respectively, for instructions.
