Update Notifications have stopped

My system has stopped sending “updates are available” notifications since I updated from 7.6.1810 to 7.7.1908.
Please see my support post here:

Software center emails have stopped

NethServer Version: 7.7.1908 Module: software center Since I’ve updated my system to 7.7.1908 the software center update notifications have stopped. This happened before i upgraded to Cockpit so i think the bug is somewhere in the 7.7.1908 update and not cockpit. System > software center > config is configured to send admin emails System > settings > Smarthost is configured System > settings > email notifications is configured to send messages to me I’ve tested email notifications using …

I get other notification emails from failed cron jobs, but /etc/cron.daily/0yum-daily.cron does not send any notifications.
I’m currently manually checking the software center for updates.
The system should send an “updates are available” notification when updates are available.

thanks

Notifications should be sent to root mail address, please check the value of config getprop root EmailAddress (you can see it also from Cockpit Settings page).

Also check if the command is failing in cron: grep yum /var/log/cron

Hello,
config getprop root EmailAddress is a valid email address on the Neth box.
it’s also the same as on the cockpit settings page.

grep yum /var/log/cron-20191127 gives
Nov 27 03:11:02 nethserver run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[15873]: starting 0yum-daily.cron
Nov 27 06:11:26 nethserver run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[1389]: finished 0yum-daily.cron

I’ve done a bit of troubleshooting in my other post, please see post 8 in my other thread on this topic.

(sorry for posting twice on the same topic, i created this thread as a bug report).

regards
Bob

OK, so i’ve changed nothing, and have just received an “updates are available” email.

This is the message:

Those updates are all from the sb-nethserver-updates repository. There are other updates listed in Software Center but they’re from the sb-epel repository.
