I've got a Centos 6.4 system that I'm trying to patch OpenSSL for. Currently, yum reports "1.0.1e-16.el6_5.4" and openssl version shows "1.0.1e-fips". On my Ubuntu machines, I was able to update openssl very easily with apt, but if I try "yum update openssl" (or even just "yum update") I get the response "No Packages marked for Update". This seems very unlikely to me.
How can I update this machine?
Update:
$ sudo python -c 'import yum, pprint; yb=yum.YumBase(); pprint.pprint(yb.conf.yumvar, width=1)'
Loading "rhnplugin" plugin
Loading "product-id" plugin
Loading "refresh-packagekit" plugin
Not loading "subscription-manager" plugin, as it is disabled
Config time: 0.042
Running "init" handler for "rhnplugin" plugin
There was an error communicating with RHN.
RHN Satellite or RHN Classic support will be disabled.
Error communicating with server. The message was:
Name or service not known
{'arch': 'ia32e',
'basearch': 'x86_64',
'releasever': '6Workstation',
'uuid': '<< something valid looking >>'}
After I add a repo here, it made a huge series of updates. Unfortunately, even after restart:
$ openssl version
OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
And yum update openssl
still says "No Packages marked for Update", with yum list openssl
returning
Installed Packages
openssl.x86_64 1.0.1e-42.el6_7.4 @updates
Available Packages
openssl.i686 1.0.1e-42.el6_7.4 updates
