When do updates appear on yum repo?
I'm new in using RHEL. I've noticed a new errata was released today: RHSA-2018:0260. But when I run 'yum update', there are no packages marked for update. The systemd package is still at systemd-219-42.el7_4.6.x86_64 and the new one is systemd-219-42.el7_4.7.x86_64.rpm.
Is there a delay when packages appear on the repo, or is there something wrong?

Steven, you would need to use "yum updateinfo list security all" to list out all security updates pertaining to your system. For further details, you may look into this KB https://access.redhat.com/solutions/10021

Hi Steven,
I think sudo yum clean all | sudo rm -r /var/cache/yum | sudo yum update solves the problem and offers the update. :)

Hi I am new to RHL got this problem Can I get help I am trying to install gnuplot-5.2.2 need it for my work It ask for Cairo- devel as dependency
run yum install cairo-devel
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager There are no enabled repos. Run "yum repolist all" to see the repos you have. To enable Red Hat Subscription Management repositories: subscription-manager repos --enable To enable custom repositories: yum-config-manager --enable Thanks

Hi Sherif,
Check which repositories are enabled on your system :
sudo subscription-manager repos --list-enabled
Check which repositories are available for the system :
sudo subscription-manager repos list --available
Enable the repositories you want to use - for example :
sudo subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-rpmssudo subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-extras-rpmssudo subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
Afterwards execute sudo yum update and now you are able to install software packages. :)

You're welcome, Sherif ! :)
I'm glad that I could help you to set up your system properly. Well, the thing with gnuplot is, that the latest version available is version 4.6.2 (I am speaking of the latest stable release RHEL 7.4 and the matching repositories of course). Did you try to install gnuplot 5.2.2 from an external source ?
If yes, that won't work because of the dependency problems you've reported ... what you can try, is to download all dependencies from a website like e.g. https://pkgs.org, put all RPM's together with the gnuplot .rpm file into one folder and install everything with sudo yum localinstall *.rpm.
Be careful, chances are that it might break the system, not sure about the glib package version which would have to be installed alongside the existing version. So, I recommend to make a system backup before.

Hello Christian
Thanks v. much now I am sure that gnuplot version 5.2.2 won't work with REHL 7.4 . I am not brave to try localinstall *.rpm
I tried version 4.6 won't work as well . The amazing part that same problem does not appear with Scientific Linux . May be I am doing some other mistake. I would like to explain I am using software wien2k and it depends on gnuplot with png support
may be if there is another software can do the same job , I hope I can learn to use it.
Thanks again
Regards
Sherif
