check_yum not ignoring output for repository priority protections

[edwardvdv]

check_yum latest version complaining about output lines not accounted for. This is related to repository priority protections. Reproducible when yum is setup with repo prio protection in place in config and "priorities" plugin used (tested on CentOS, Amazon Linux).

Output of invocation check_yum -W -N -vvv:

Nagios Plugin for Yum updates on RedHat/CentOS systems - Version 0.11.3

setting plugin timeout to 30 seconds
running command: /usr/bin/yum --security check-update

Output: 'Loaded plugins: extras_suggestions, langpacks, priorities, update-motd

Proposed and verified working solution:

Add the line excluded due to repository priority protections to excluded_regex.

FWIW, same issue here. Attaching a -vvv output.

That didn't work so well apparently. Copy&Pasting like above:

I have/had the same issue on version 0.11.3. Adding the line 'packages excluded due to repository priority protections', to line 464 (or somewhere in the excluded_regex list) worked for me. That entry was based on the verbose output from the "output lines not accounted for" message:

Partial -vvv logs, but I feel it shows the relevant info...
