Webmin / Bugs / #5454 Oracle Enterprise Linux Updates Listed when no updates available

Jamie Cameron - 2021-02-18

If you run the command yum check-update , does it report those packages as available updates?

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:

It does. How interesting. But yum update doesn't.

Do you perhaps have those packages pinned to a specific version in your YUM config?

  It’s a relatively new default install of oracle enterprise Linux 8.3. I haven’t pinned any packages that I know of. If there’s additional things I can supply I’ll be more than glad to grab that info.

  I installed Webmin on OEL 8.3 and noticed that I had 79 packages needing update. When the update runs, it shows nothing to do. When I checked, an example package (perl-Algorithm-Diff) from the repository ol8_appstream is showing as needing update.
  
  Using yum, I see this:

  Ok, it looks like as you said there's a mismatch between the src and
  noarch package versions, which confuses Webmin. In the next release we'll
  fix this by just ignoring those src packages.

Anyone who's seeing this should upgrade to Webmin 1.973, which fixes the issue.

I don't use WebMin. Just activate default Cockpit. It seems to be a common problem.

Hi, I have the same problem: Oracle Linux 8.5 + Webmin 1.984.
All packages starts with perl- from source Ol8_appstream.
Thank you!

Still reproduces with Oracle Linux 8.6 and Webmin 1.994 exactly as described above.
