| Summary | 0000405: Software Updates report packages that need updating, but are actually older than installed packages. |
| Description | (This should be filed with app-software-updates but this category doesn't exist)
The software updates page reports that packages need updating, even though they are installed and possibly newer. This is confirmed by running 'yum clean all && yum upgrade' from the command line with no remaining updates.
This appears to be issues with the NVR comparison of RPM's. It occurs in instances where the version is the same, but the release or build has changed
The webconfig API (SoftwareUpdates.class.php) appears to do a numerical comparison ( a > b ) on the whole release string, however could be improved to compare each 'segment' or dist tag.
e.g. el5_7 is newer than el5_6 |
