Description mplmpl 2015-02-25 20:20:53 UTC

Software Management says "Your system is up to date Verified 4 hours and 10 minutes ago" and in fact *never* says anything needs  updating, but yum command line says many packages need updating. This has been going on since upgrade (via fedup) from Fedora 19 to Fedora 21 (Software Management agreed with yum in Fedora 19).

Looking at settings (don't know if this is normal since I didn't have to touch settings up until this point), "Software Origins" is empty, and "Check for distribution upgrades" is grayed out. In both screens, selecting "Defaults" doesn't change anything.

Not sure if the configuration was messed up by the upgrade, but there appears no way to fix the behavior regardless.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on Software Updater
2. run yum update
3. Note discrepancies

Actual Results:  
Software updater says system is up to date, yum says it is not.

Expected Results:  
I expected Software Updater to notify me of and to perform updates

Thank you for the bug report.

As this report hasn't seen any changes in 5 years or more, we ask if you can please confirm that the issue still persists.

This project is unfortunately no longer maintained.

If a new maintainer wants to step up and take care, the project is archived here:

https://invent.kde.org/system/apper

You can just clone it in your private namespace on invent.kde.org and if you have started to work on it and fixed/implemented something get it reviewed and the project unarchived.

Sorry for the inconveniences.
