Summary0002279: yum upgrade can somtimes fail
DescriptionHelped a user with a server that had not done an update in over 6 months.

Asked them what the yum upgrade output was (thinking dependency issue), but before that, run 'yum clean all' just to start fresh.

'clean all' fixed whatever issue yum was having and the following yum upgrade downloaded and installed 180MB of updates without a problem.

Perhaps we should add a weekly cron job that runs 'clean all' just in case it ends up helping someone...or, automatic software updates should run that before each upgrade command...can't hurt???

That's easy to duplicate with clock skew. Fix for 0001562 fixed the situation for installing new apps, but there's no "yum clean metadata" for upgrades (Yum->run_upgrade()).

Two changes were made:

1) The automatic updates now does a yum clean before proceeding.

2) A cron job was added to clean out the metadata every night.
