Relationship between Errata and updates
Posted: 2018/08/22 21:08:49
I am familiar with using "yum update" to keep my system packages up to date, but heard a vendor talk about doing errata updates, and I do not understand the relationship between errata, and updates. I thought that if my system had available updates, I should see a proportional list of errata to be applied, but do not. The system in my example below is CentOS 6.9.
"yum check-update" shows me a few dozen packages with available updates, but
"yum updateinfo list" shows me just one errata item.
Why do I not see errata for the other updates, do they not include security, bug fixes, and enhancements?
Thank you for your consideration.
