% I noticed it too, even with 1.7: it seems that "yum update" (or<br>
% check-update) also lists packages that will replace other packages,<br>
% while spacewalk just seems to update to the newest version of each of<br>
% the installed packages, plus dependancies.<br>
<br>
Another reason for this behavior could be use of yum plugins<br>
which modify list of packages - e.g. priorities, protect-packages,<br>
protectbase, versionlock etc.<br>
<br>
Spacewalk has no idea what's filtered out locally on the client.<br>
<br>

<div>Thanks for the response. Here is more information. Here is what I have installed in the client wrt yum.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>[root@client ~]# rpm -qa | grep yum</div>
<div>yum-3.2.29-22.el6.centos.2.noarch</div>
<div>yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-16.el6.x86_64</div>
<div>yum-plugin-security-1.1.30-10.el6.noarch</div>
<div>yum-rhn-plugin-1.6.16-1.el6.noarch</div>
<div>yum-plugin-fastestmirror-1.1.30-10.el6.noarch</div>
<div>yum-utils-1.1.30-10.el6.noarch</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My client says the following.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>[root@client ~]# yum check-update</div>
<div>Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin, security</div>
<div>Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>glibc.x86_64 2.12-1.47.el6_2.9 centos6-updates-x86_64</div>
<div>glibc-common.x86_64 2.12-1.47.el6_2.9 centos6-updates-x86_64</div>
<div>nscd.x86_64 2.12-1.47.el6_2.9 centos6-updates-x86_64</div>
<div>tzdata.noarch 2012b-3.el6 centos6-updates-x86_64</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And, here is what the server shows for this client.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Where should I look to understand the discrepancy?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
