I'm experimenting something estrange with yum in centos7, lets see If someone understands what's happening:
Usually, I upgrade packages using `sudo yum install -`, for example, right now, I'm trying to do an upgrade of `elasticsearch` package from `v6.7.1` to `7.1.1`. To do that, I first need (suggested by the Elasticsearch documentation) to upgrade to `6.8.0`, so I executed `yum install elasticsearch-6.8.0` and the package was correcty upgraded.
Now, if I check the version of Elasticsearch, I got:
```auto
[root@centos7 vagrant]# rpm -qa | grep elasticsearch
elasticsearch-6.8.0-1.noarch
```
Now, I add the Elasticsearch repositories for `7.x` with:
```auto
# rpm --import https://packages.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
# cat > /etc/yum.repos.d/elastic.repo << EOF
[elasticsearch-7.x]
name=Elasticsearch repository for 7.x packages
baseurl=https://artifacts.elastic.co/packages/7.x/yum
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch
enabled=1
autorefresh=1
type=rpm-md
EOF
```
and check that the package elasticsearch-7.1.1 exists and is available:
```auto
[root@centos7 vagrant]# yum --showduplicates list elasticsearch | expand | grep 7.
elasticsearch.noarch 6.7.0-1 elasticsearch-6.x
elasticsearch.noarch 6.7.1-1 elasticsearch-6.x
elasticsearch.noarch 6.7.2-1 elasticsearch-6.x
elasticsearch.x86_64 7.0.0-1 elasticsearch-7.x
elasticsearch.x86_64 7.0.1-1 elasticsearch-7.x
elasticsearch.x86_64 7.1.0-1 elasticsearch-7.x
elasticsearch.x86_64 7.1.1-1 elasticsearch-7.x
elasticsearch.x86_64 7.2.0-1 elasticsearch-7.x
```
But, if I try to install `elasticsearch-7.1.1` using `yum install` I got:
```auto
[root@centos7 vagrant]# yum install elasticsearch-7.1.1
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror.tedra.es
* extras: mirror.gadix.com
* updates: mirror.gadix.com
Nothing to do
```
And, if I try to use upgrade-to, I found this interesting issue:
```auto
[root@centos7 vagrant]# yum upgrade-to elasticsearch-7.1.1
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: mirror.tedra.es
* extras: mirror.gadix.com
* updates: mirror.gadix.com
Package(s) elasticsearch-7.1.1 available, but not installed.
No packages marked for update
```
Package(s) elasticsearch-7.1.1 **available, but not installed.**
If I try just, `yum install elasticsearch` it let me upgrade to 7.2.0
What could be going on? why yum said elasticsearch is not installed? Look at the output of the following command:
```auto
[root@centos7 vagrant]# yum list installed | grep elasticsearch
elasticsearch.noarch 6.8.0-1 @elasticsearch-6.x
kibana.x86_64 6.8.0-1 @elasticsearch-6.x
logstash.noarch 1:6.8.0-1 @elasticsearch-6.x
```
I hope someone can help me. Greetings and thank you very much.
Running with `--verbose` don't give us so much more information

```
If I try to download the package manually and install it I can upgrade without any problem, but I would like to understand what happening with the repository.
```auto
wget https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-7.1.1-x86_64.rpm
yum install elasticsearch-7.1.1-x86_64.rpm
```
