Q: YUMEX and Red Hat Update agent

[aero-z]

I downloaded Yumex Red Hat Update Agent hack and I already have Yumex. The applet shows that my system is up to date, but when I run Yumex, there are updates available for some packages. Why the applet shows no new updates?

It doesn't check constantly; possibly it just hadn't checked yet.

But when I saw that there are available updates I manually clicked on Check for updates and it only gave me the blue tick

Is the up2date agent not "broken" at the moment?

Ignore the throbber icon and check yumex or yum yourself at regular intervals.

I dunno. I didn't install the Red Hat Update Agent (ORIGINAL) but up2date packages are installed. I don't know what's up with YUMEX applet then. Does anyone have the same problem or does the original Red Hat Update Agent "work" now?

Yes, I've had the same issue, so I have been updating with yumex. This has been going on for some time.

Clunixchit forgot to say that if we try to do the update with yumex, we got the error "Fehler bei der Verarbeitung" (which means: error during the process) - so we can't do the update with yumex (FC3 and FC4).

Any suggestions?

Actually it is another problem already and not related with the update applet. In most cases yumex should not say so. It usually happens when one repository is down from your repository list, but I may be wrong. If you are sure that it is all ok with the yum repository list and it is not temporary then you may report it in Yum Extender's Bug Report forum.
