Thanks. Hard to say. It certainly doesn't agree with my by-hand comparison
of installed vs. available. Here's the output of 'yup list updates':
[root]# yup list updates
Reading RPM database... (100%)
Performing dependencies sanity check...
Checking for package list updates...
Package list is up to date...
Reading package list... (100%)

Removing the redundancies (what's up with that?), yup tells me that
10 package updates are available:
kernel 2.2.19-1k
krb5-libs 1.2.2-12
modutils 2.4.3-1b
netatalk 1:1.5pre2-6b
openssh 2.9p2-1
openssh-clients 2.9p2-1
openssh-server 2.9p2-1
vim-minimal 5.7-8
xinetd 2.3.0-1.71
yi 1.0.2-1
My by-hand comparison shows 25 packages whose version number at the
mirror is later than what is installed locally:
dev 3.1.0-14a
fetchmail 5.8.14-1
gnupg 1.0.6-1
kernel 2.2.19-1k
krb5-libs 1.2.2-12
MAKEDEV 3.1.0-14a
man 1.5i2-0.7x
minicom 1.83.1-8
modutils 2.4.3-1b
netatalk 1:1.5pre2-6b
openldap 1.2.12-1a
openssh 2.9p2-1
openssh-clients 2.9p2-1
openssh-server 2.9p2-1
openssl 0.9.6-9
procmail 3.21-0.71
proftpd 1.2.0rc2-2c
screen 3.9.5-13a
telnet 0.17-18
telnet-server 0.17-18
vim-common 5.7-8
vim-minimal 5.7-8
xinetd 2.3.0-1.71
yi 1.0.2-1
yup 0.7.6-2
At least yup's list is a proper subset.
So would it be reasonable to assume that 'yup update' would update the
10 packages listed by 'yup list updates'? And would 'yi' get updated 6
times (and so forth)?
