No, as it tells you its up to date -> no updates available since most recent, according to yum/rpm db.

And how do i do that?

Ok here's the 3 shortcuts i use:
In /etc/bashrc i had added this line (need to be root to be allowed changing the file):

alias upd="sudo yum -y update"

To update the yum db, should work as any user...

yum makecache

And finaly updating your single program with:

upd [singlepackage]

wich is the same as:

sudo yum update -y supertuxkart

The brackets around 'singlepackage' indicate that its optional..

So if you just run yum update, it updates everything.. and in most cases it updates the db first.
You see that when all the repos gets listed and its downloading something...

Hth.

If you keep getting the same message, then there is NO update available.. simple.

Version 0.7.3 is available for Rawhide (F17) from rpm.pbone.net. That doesn't mean that you should install it or that it would work. I'm just telling you that it is there. The newest package available for Fedora 16 is 0.7.2.
