yum and command line field

Question

I'm reading the official documentation of Red Hat 6 (Deployment Guide) where in chapter 6 about yum they use the following command to show transactions:

yum history info (id)

this command should allegedly show the command that has been issued by the user on the command line. However on my Red Hat 6 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.0 (Santiago) ) I cannot see that field.

Here's what should appear in the command response according to documentation:

Command Line: install screen

my yum seem to display all fields but Command Line.

Is the documentation outdated or is it yum version problem?

Here's the output of yum history info 8:

RHN support will be disabled.

history info

Answer 1

Yum history command line is implemented in a later version of yum.

According to this doc, in version 3.2.29-18 it is implemented, so I'd go ahead and yum update yum

yum rpm package changelog:

* Thu Aug 11 2011 James Antill <james.antill@redhat.com> - 3.2.29-18
- Deal with pre scripts errors better.
- Resolves: rhbz#661962
- history nows stores and display rpmdb/yumdb information (Eg. from_repo).
[...]

edit: yum still won't be able to see the command line information from transactions made before the functionality was implemented.
