I have this ouput when I do a "yum check-update" which is the command which is run in the yumhelper.py : Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security This system is not registered with RHN. RHN support will be disabled. Skipping security plugin, no data compat-dapl.i386 2.0.13-4.el5 rhel- Server compat-dapl.x86_64 2.0.13-4.el5 rhel- Server compat-dapl-devel.i386 2.0.13-4.el5 rhel- Server compat-dapl-devel.x86_64 2.0.13-4.el5 rhel- Server iscsi-initiator-utils.x86_64 6.2.0.868-0.18.el5 rhel- Server libmlx4.i386 1.0-4.el5 rhel- Server libmlx4.x86_64 1.0-4.el5 rhel- Server libsdp.i386 1:1.1.99-10.el5_2 rhel- Server libsdp.x86_64 1:1.1.99-10.el5_2 rhel- Server perftest.x86_64 1.2-11.el5 rhel- Server qlvnictools.x86_64 0.0.1-10.el5 rhel- Server rsyslog.x86_64 4.6.3-ourrepository.20101008 rhel- CHPLinux srptools.x86_64 0.0.4-2.el5 rhel- Server tvflash.x86_64 0.9.0-2.el5 rhel- Server As you see, the difference is with the output of the rsyslog update.
