You can see how long it will take before doing the "auto refresh" that all commands do underneath, by running this: yum repolist enabled -v This means that check-update is not performing an update, like apt-get update does. Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile So if you run yum check-update and get this: $ sudo yum check-update ![]() Apparently its purpose is "know if your machine had any updates that needed to be applied without running it interactively" so basically it's "check if any packages are update-able" not "refresh the list of packages that I could update to" as you'd expect. ![]() Unfortunately yum check-update by default doesn't pull down changes from remote repositories until yum.conf's metadata_expire parameter has elapsed (default 90m).
