I've got a server running SL 7.3 and while it has installed many updates including recent ones under the 7.5 update, it is not installing all updates to a full SL 7.5 system. I've tried 'yum clean all' and 'rm -rf /var/cache/yum' and they didn't help. The only clue is that 'yum check' returned an error, but I don't know if it is enough to cause yum to just ignore updating seemingly unrelated packages while allowing others. I would assume that a conflict with a kmod would block a kernel update but it does not. What other steps can I do to try to troubleshoot or fix this?
