Hi Oliver, here it's your solution:
Try this please: (as Root)
yum clean all
ENTER
yum makecache
ENTER
su -c "yum -y --skip-broken update"
ENTER
Reboot your system and turn the Update checker to "Daily" instead of "Per
Hour" Some days later, when
there are updates available, you are going to get notifications.
Thanks for the advice. I did that and it installed about a dozen
updates. I should know in a few days whether automatic notification
works now.
Take care
Oliver
