Hi Everyone,
Thanks for your messages. Further to this, it looks like the default settings for RHEL6
does indeed make "yum upgrade" == "yum update --obsoletes".
Looking at my /etc/yum.conf:
obsoletes=1
Which means that obsoletes is true by default on update.
Thanks,
Trev

Good Morning,
"yum upgrade" === "yum update --obsoletes"
where the "-obsoletes" flag says to remove packages that have been made obsolete
by the upgrade (say you're upgrading from 5.9 to 6.5).
Cheers!

Hi Everyone,
After taking over the LDAP service from a colleague, I updated the 389 DS service to the
latest release by issuing a "yum update ...". Then when searching around the
389-ds documentation, I came across the install page that said that I must use "yum
upgrade ..." and not update.
My question is what's the difference between yum update and upgrade?
I think they are the same. If someone knows any difference between "yum update"
and "yum upgrade" I'd like to hear it.
Is it OK if I leave it like that or should I do the yum upgrade?
It is OK to leave it like that.
The service seems to be running OK after "yum update", so far.
I went from 1.2.11.15-14.el6_4 --> 1.2.11.29-1.el6
Thanks,
Trev
