Ahh, that could be it: "7.4".
I did an upgrade-in-place, installing sl-release-7.5-2.sl7.x86_64,
cleaning the yum cache, and updating. That apparently didn't update
this file.
That file (which is owned by the sl-release package) did not update the
number. Interestingly,
$ rpm --verify sl-release
shows no changes to the files.
$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Scientific Linux release 7.5 (Nitrogen)
does what you'd expect.
Checking on some other machines that were originally installed as 7.3
and upgraded in place twice, they're at 7.3 also.
Manually changing /etc/yum/vars/slreleasever to 7.5 gets me loads of
updates, including the freeipmi.
So: short summary: upgrading sl-release does change TUV's release tag,
but not the SL release tag file, and does not notice that fact on a
verify. The procedure which served me well for many 6.x upgrades needs
one more tweak for 7.x upgrades!
Is this expected behavior, or is there somethign to be tweaked with the
sl-release rpm (or its scripts)?
thanks!
