Hi, I installed yum-2.0.3-5.rh.fr on a RH 8 box. I ran ?update yum? to check and update packages. One package that came back as a needed update was openssl; current version I have is openssl-0.9.6b-35.8. According to www.openssl.org, the newest package is openssl-0.9.7e. After running update, even though a list of 5 packages came back that needed updating, (I believe) none of them were installed. I did an rpm ?qa openssl; it?s the same openssl-0.9.6b-35.8 version. According to YUM, even though a newer RPM for openssl named i686 0.9.6b-36.8.legacy is available from legacy, apparently(?) older than the version www.OPENSSL.org recommends. On install attempt, "yum install openssh" I got message back - "openssh is installed and is the latest version. No actions to take". YUM would not install the newer legacy openssl update. Do I truly have the latest version of openssl (should I believe YUM)? Or do I need to update openssl without YUM,using the www.openssl.org tar.gz file instead? Or is there another way to update to newest openssl version using YUM? I was wondering if the Legacy openssl version is numbered differently than the OPENSSL version? Any info appreciated.
