RHEL 7 Patches applicable but already installed

Usage and Config Patch
1

Hey all,

We are having something odd with a patch on RHEL 7, and I thought I would poke here and see if anyone has ran into this before, or if it was something I might be overlooking. One of our server guys patched the server manually, and was complaining about it still showing relevant in Bigfix. I went to the server and checked rpm and yum and the RHSA was applied.

I have done a forced refresh on the system thinking maybe it just hasn’t posted up new results, but that wasn’t the case.

Greetings!

Could you provide the RHSA in question?

This advisory is not currently relevant in my environment though I did notice it has a very very large list of dependencies. My guess is one or more of those dependencies has not been installed, thus the fixlet will still be relevant.
