However, that package was released a long time ago (31 aug) and it IS in
both places right now.  So no idea why you only see it in one place.

For the things released TODAY .. they may take a couple hours to get out.

The OP looks in wrong place, the package is in updates, not os.

In general, the rule of thumb is to look in updates firs, then in os, then
one will find the latest package.

Thanks for the quick and helpful replies.  Also, thank you for pointing out that
I should have been looking in updates, not os. That makes perfect sense, but I
got hung up on the fact that it was missing from os. Anyway, that led to me
discovering that on one of my internal mirrors the updates repo hadn?t synced in
a couple months, which was ultimately the cause for the missing package in that
environment, but still as Johnny pointed out this package was released August
31st and should be in the os repo by now, and it?s not. Also, I was wrong since
it?s missing from both the 6.9 and 6 os repo. I just checked again from a
browser that has never been to this url so there?s no chance of something being
cached and still I see the 122 package at
http://mirror.centos.org/centos-6/6/os/x86_64/Packages/. Ultimately, you helped
me solve my problem, but the package is not in os directory yet like Johnny said
it normally would be.


# This is the openssh package I see at the URL I gave above
openssh-5.3p1-122.el6.x86_64.rpm
