Hi all, when I check for updates with yum, it gives me a list of packages, with some additional info, e.g. --> systemd-sysv-219-42.el7_4.1.x86_64 from @updates removed (updateinfo) --> systemd-sysv-219-42.el7_4.4.x86_64 from updates removed (updateinfo) yum info will tell me that I have 4.1 of this package installed, and that 4.4 is available - from the repo updates. What is the meaning of the "@" - it marks the older package? And why are all packages always "removed"? It would seem that both mentioned packages are still available... Regards, Thomas

Thanks for the explanation. Yes, I see both of these lines, including systemd-sysv-219-42.el7_4.4.x86_64, but as quoted it also has the label "removed" - that had me confused. 'yum info systemd-sysv' shows that systemd-sysv-219-42.el7_4.1 is installed - as expected. And if I run the actual update, the 4.4 package gets installed as an update - so everything is o.k.
