That messages comes from the part where only security updates are checked, so could you please also post the output of yum --security check-update?

In my case, it has many lines like --> libuuid-2.23.2-22.el7_1.i686 from rhel-7-server-rpms excluded (updateinfo).

@moschlar I've added a regex based fix to the original upstream plugin in the Advanced Nagios Plugins Collection for both the python and perl versions. I recalled seeing others report a similar error somewhere else so thought I'd do a search and mention it. I just checked your pull request, which disables it if it sees the word "excluded" anywhere - my fix was to regex filter all lines that matched the excluded format instead as this way it doesn't entirely disable the safety check and still applies it to the normal remaining package lines.

@Akulatraxas I'm not sure it's the same underlying cause as for the issue you reported in this ticket as there was no -vvv plugin output given in the original post showing the excluded scenario but you're both welcome to try out the main fixed version.

Out of curiosity are you running this on systems managed by Satellite / Spacewalk?

@HariSekhon, thank you. I only tried the python version. That one was a good working replacement for me.

YUM output signature is larger than current known format, please make sure you have upgraded to the latest version of this plugin. If the problem persists, please contact the author for a fix

Resolution
Clean yum cache and try again,
Raw
rm -rf /var/cache/yum/*
yum clean all
yum update

Root Cause
This happens if erratas are having duplicate entries in updateinfo files. If issue is with RHN provided repositories then cleaning yum cache should solve problem. If issue is with third party/local repository and cleaning cache is not working then need to contact vendor of repository to solve this issue.

I also have this issue. The fix mentioned by @jgbuenaventura did not solve it.

I'm running:

CentOS release 6.9 (Final)
2.6.32-696.23.1.el6.x86_64

Hi @HariSekhon and @lpossamai

We've the same problem with that status information since the GPG key used to sign the GitLab packages was changed.

And the described steps under https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/update/package_signatures#yum-redhat-centos were done.

Do you have any idea?
