Yum weirdness

[Dave Roberts]

So, can somebody explain this sequence of Yum runs to me? These are all
run back to back. I first do a "yum list updates." Yum tells me that the
libpng packages are due for update. I then run "yum -y update" to get
them all, and it tells me that there are no packages available for
update and no actions to take. Then, I run it again ("yum -y update")
and it goes ahead and does the update. I have had this happen to me a
few times so far.

Problem with yum? Problem with my config? This is on a stock FC1 system
with all patches applied up till now.

Thanks,

-- Dave
