Hi.

Especially for automated nagios/icinga checks it's nice if one could
differ between critical and non-critical upgrades in SL repos.

This is what the yum security plugin should do but this doesn't work
apparently:

# /usr/bin/yum check-update -C
Loaded plugins: changelog, downloadonly, fastestmirror, keys, priorities, protectbase, ps, security, verify
96 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
0 packages excluded due to repository protections

kernel.x86_64            2.6.32-220.17.1.el6   sl-security
kernel-devel.x86_64      2.6.32-220.17.1.el6   sl-security
kernel-doc.noarch        2.6.32-220.17.1.el6   sl-security
kernel-firmware.noarch   2.6.32-220.17.1.el6   sl-security
kernel-headers.x86_64    2.6.32-220.17.1.el6   sl-security


But the invocation of claims that ne security updates would be avialable

# /usr/bin/yum --security check-update -C
Loaded plugins: changelog, downloadonly, fastestmirror, keys, priorities, protectbase, ps, security, verify
96 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
0 packages excluded due to repository protections
Limiting package lists to security relevant ones
No packages needed for security; 5 packages available


Any ideas?


Cheers,
Chris.
