yum tells system would be up2date, but up2date -u --nosig starts lots of 0k updates.

Btw. I had some problems not being in any channel after finishing the install on
my laptop


I had to do the following steps to use yum and up2date:
1)
in /etc/yum.conf
replace the line:
distroverpkg=redhat-release
with 
distroverpkg=fedora-release
2)
reinstall up2date:
rpm -e --nodeps up2date
and reinstall it:
yum install up2date
Comment 2 Paul W. Frields 2003-10-14 22:52:52 UTC 
Possibly related: running up2date as a TUI app, the speed and remaining time
counters are also 0 during the entire transfer, regardless that the download is
actually completing post haste.
Comment 3 Mat 2003-10-15 20:13:50 UTC 
I am having the same problems and as I am completely up2date I cannot further
check this unless I downgrade. I did a whole bunch of updates today including
mozilla, evolution, gdm, up2date as well ironically and the whole selection was
22kB apparently ;0) The kernel was 0kB!

I have noticed in the GUI version I am not getting any download speed
indications despite seen progress indicators of the download. 

Additionally the app says package already downloaded while still in mid download
for every package! It is definitely not already downloaded as I checked
var/spool/up2date for the rpms

rpm -q up2date
up2date-4.1.7-1
Comment 4 Adrian Likins 2003-10-28 01:21:21 UTC 
yum repos dont include any about package sizes in there metadata, so
this field can not be properly filled in. I'll take a look at
replacing it with "unknown" or "N/A" or something.

4.1.13 or higher should update the proper download speeds and
time remaining for yum and apt repos.

up2date has been deprecated and this bug should be closed probably.

Comment 11 John Thacker 2006-10-29 14:55:14 UTC 
The problem is an inherent one with using yum repositories, and since up2date is
not included in FC5 and FC6, the still-supported versions, this is never going
to be fixed in Fedora Core.  It's not a security bug, and FC3 and FC4 are only
supported by Fedora Legacy for security updates.
