Uyuni erroneously reports packages need to be updated?
Sorry all, but here's another problem I have run into. My Uyuni interface is reporting 8 packages that need to be updated on this server, yet when I try to run the update, I get the error that there are no packages found. So on the server itself, when I run "yum update", I get "No packages marked for update". So why is Uyuni reporting there are packages that need to be updated?

Hi Jamen. Looks like what Uyuni thinks is installed is different to what yum does. Normally, Uyuni will automatically check for this and update it, but it can take a little while. You can select the machine in Uyuni (Same page as your second pic) and select Software -> Packages. Then click the 'Update Package List' button. That will force Uyuni to rescan and refresh and it should update its database within several minutes. In some cases I have found Yum to be misreporting or using an outdated cache, in which case a "yum clean all" should tidy things up before your next "yum update". Note: I don't think this is the case in your example as it's refilling the cache, but may still be worth a try.
