I last updated my Fedora 14 install weeks ago, so I expected a slew of new packages waiting for me, but after I run yum update, I instead get:

...
Setting up Update Process
No Packages marked for Update

update:

rpm -qi sudo gives version 1.7.4p4

yum -v repolist gives:

Loading "langpacks" plugin
Loading "presto" plugin
Loading "refresh-packagekit" plugin

this is not an answer... but do you have all your repos installed and configured? I mean does it have any any place to get packages from out of the box? some repo distro's don't set up any by default – xenoterracide♦ Jan 21 '11 at 19:30
@xeno I am able to install packages. – Tshepang Jan 21 '11 at 19:40
k that was my only thought – xenoterracide♦ Jan 21 '11 at 19:58
sudo was updated to version 1.7.4p5-1.fc14 on January the 17. Can you check with rpm -qi sudo which version (including release) you have and also include the output of yum -v repolist? – wag Jan 21 '11 at 20:32

Your repository cache is out of date, clean it and execute the update again:

yum clean expire-cache
yum update
