Margaret:

As a first option I would run the CLI command on the system to send an updated profile of software installed to RHN

# rhn-profile-sync

If that doesn't not clear up the issue, clear out the yum cache then re-run the "yum update" process

# yum clean all
# yum update

Subject: update problems

Yum and the RedHat systems page disagree on the upgrades needed for
three of our systems.  Also what is the best way to clear multiple
installations of the same package on a system.

I have eight RedHat systems.   At least four use "yum update" to
update software.

On the four systems using "yum update", I have completed all the
updates available using this command.
However the RedHat web page that shows systems that need updates,
three of the systems still need an update of

If I run  "yum install glibc-2.5-34.el5_3.1",  I get

The systems are running 2.6.18-128.1.14.el5,

All three systems show glibc-2.5-34 and glibc-devel-2.5-34 installed
twice.
