Why 'yum updateinfo' doesn't show severity level on a Satellite 5 client?
Issue
We use satellite and it doesn't show security update severity level:
-
Results when a server is registered on Satellite 5:
[root@client]# yum updateinfo [...] Updates Information Summary: available 3 Security notice(s) updateinfo summary done [root@client ~]# yum updateinfo list [...] RHSA-2013:1459 security gnupg2-2.0.14-6.el6_4.x86_64 RHSA-2014:0126 security openldap-2.4.23-34.el6_5.1.x86_64 RHSA-2014:0126 security openldap-devel-2.4.23-34.el6_5.1.x86_64 RHSA-2013:1869 security pixman-0.26.2-5.1.el6_5.x86_64 updateinfo list done -
Result when the same system is registered to RHN (xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com).

The
/var/cache/rhn/repodata/rhel-x86_64-server-6/updateinfo.xml.gzlooks valid and contains severity info. - Why severity level is not shown in
