More info: yum-updatesd is running and I do not have yum-cron. yum-updatesd
does a fine job from what I can tell, but I still cannot understand what
criteria it applies to know which packages get upgraded and which do not. (?)
The yum-updatesd configuration file is ultra-simple, so that doesn't seem to be
where the update choice/distinction is being made.
There seem to be people posting in various places that they prefer to use
yum-cron, but I have no problems with yum-updatesd and I suspect yum-cron
wouldn't address/answer my question anyway.
Help?
