Hi Ralph, you are right, there are some differences because they refer to different things. I try to clarify some aspects, feel free to ask for more information.
You have a subscription (sb-epel says that).
yum-cron runs during the night and fetches the RPMs from the autoupdates/
repositories. They are synchronized to their upstream counterparts about one time per week. If you wait a few days, you’ll see the other packages too!
You are applying a “manual” update. Here you see the packages from the stable/
repositories. They are synchronized every day at 21.00 UTC with their upstream counterparts. Manual updates with a subscription could be useful
- when you install new packages
- when you immediately want a new package version (e.g. a bug fix)
I guess in Details you can see the same RPMs. However the list tries to group them under the “Application” that requires at least one of them. I might ask @giacomo and @edoardo_spadoni to shed more light about this.
This is the expected behavior.
