updateinfo messages about removed packages
Hello community,
when I run yum update --advisory=RHSA-XXXX:YYYY I got a lot of messages like these:
# yum update --advisory=RHSA-2016:0043
Loaded plugins: product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-
: manager
--> dracut-config-rescue-033-359.el7.x86_64 from @anaconda/7.2 removed (updateinfo)
--> gnutls-3.3.8-12.el7_1.1.x86_64 from @anaconda/7.2 removed (updateinfo)
--> iproute-3.10.0-54.el7_2.1.x86_64 from rhel-7-server-rpms removed (updateinfo)
--> sudo-1.8.6p7-17.el7_2.x86_64 from rhel-7-server-rpms removed (updateinfo)
Does this mean that packages are missing which are needed for the installation of a specific RHSA?
Regards,
Joerg

Those are newer packages which can be installed. The statement at the bottom tells you the number of packages available. Here's a snippet.
The libnl3-cli version installed is older than the yum update advisory.
# yum update --advisory=RHSA-2017:0276
--> libnl3-cli-3.2.28-3.el7_3.x86_64 from rhel-7-server-rpms removed (updateinfo)
--> kpartx-0.4.9-99.el7_3.1.x86_64 from rhel-7-server-rpms removed (updateinfo)
No packages needed for security; 42 packages available
