I have just verified that the problem still exists here Fedora Core 6, smart
0.42.  Note that this is with a rpm-md repository, not an apt(-rpm) one.

First, I had iec16022-0.2-1.cmn6 installed and in the repository.  I ran "smart
update" so that the cache was up to date.  Then I packaged
iec16022-0.2.1-0.1.cmn6 and put it in the above repository, and ran createrepo
to update the index.  Now, "smart update" says "Channels have no new packages"
but "smart upgrade" starts to upgrade the installed iec16022-0.2 to 0.2.1, as
expected.

Villa,

I can not confirm the behavior with .50rc1.

I rsynced a know good repo into ~/testrepo then changed sources.list to
file:/// /home/dfarning/testrepo/

smart update correctly reports packages that are upgradeable.

Thank Villa,

I'll set up some fc5 and fc6 vm to test for this behavior.

Dave

I suppose at the time of the report I was using Fedora Core 5.  I've just
upgraded to FC6 but haven't set up smart yet so I can't retest at the moment.

Scop,

Which Linux version are you using?
I would like to test for this behavior in 0.42.

Dave

"smart update" appears to ignore file:/// repositories when calculating the
status message at end of its output.

For example, when a local rpm-md channel using a file:/// URI has new stuff
available, "smart update" says "channels have no new packages" even if there
certainly is.  I haven't noticed this with any other than file:/// repositories.

My smart version is 0.41.
