Hello group, I have a CentOS 5.5 server freshly installed. When I do a yum updated package_name, I have referenced to 5.6. Why? Here is an example: yum update vsftpd --changelog Loaded plugins: changelog, fastestmirror, security addons/other | 192 B 00:00 base/other_db | 11 MB 00:50 extras/other_db | 442 kB 00:01 updates/other_db | 2.8 MB 00:11 http://centos.arcticnetwork.ca/*5.6*/updates/x86_64/repodata/other.sqlite.bz2: [Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum Trying other mirror. updates/other_db | 2.7 MB 00:22 Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * addons: mirror.science.uottawa.ca * base: mirror.science.uottawa.ca * extras: mirror.science.uottawa.ca * updates: mirror.science.uottawa.ca Skipping security plugin, no data Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies Skipping security plugin, no data --> Running transaction check ---> Package vsftpd.x86_64 0:2.0.5-16.el5_6.1 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Changes in packages about to be updated: vsftpd-2.0.5-16.el5_6.1.x86_64 * Fri Mar 4 17:00:00 2011 Jiri Skala <jskala at redhat.com> - 2.0.5-16.el5_6.1 - Resolves: #681893 - CVE-2011-0762 vsftpd: remote DoS via crafted glob pattern * Thu Apr 8 18:00:00 2010 Jiri Skala <jskala at redhat.com> - 2.0.5-16.el5_5.1 - Resolves: #580055 - vsftpd prematurely closes connection just before processing of post-auth command - Resolves: #580396 - vsftpd issues in RHEL5 Dependencies Resolved ======================================================================================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size =======================================================================================================================================Updating: vsftpd x86_64 2.0.5-16.el5_6.1 updates 139 k Transaction Summary =======================================================================================================================================Install 0 Package(s) Upgrade 1 Package(s) Total download size: 139 k The version installed is 5.5: [root at future_qljnl51p yum.repos.d]# lsb_release -a LSB Version: :core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-ia32:core-3.1-noarch:graphics-3.1-amd64:graphics-3.1-ia32:graphics-3.1-noarch Distributor ID: CentOS Description: CentOS release 5.5 (Final) Release: 5.5 Codename: Final -- Bernard -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

[CentOS] CentOS 5.5 yum update with reference to 5.6

Why?CentOS *finally* pushed 5.6 out the door, so you can expect any 5.5 system to upgrade to 5.6. Mine did, painlessly. //me ******************************************************************* This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

Why?CentOS "point releases" track the upstream "Update x" releases. So CentOS 5.6 is upstream version 5 update 6. The point releases are not a separate product, just a batch of updates to the base product. As soon as you do a "yum update" to get all the new updates you will have a 5.6 install. https://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=34 -- William Hooper
