 Pipe the "yum list available" output through less, and you'll see
what is happening. In general we don't recommend screen scrapping yum
output, writing a yum script is often significantly easier (and
supported).

 For what I _think_ you are trying to do above, you probably just want
"yum list updates" or "yum check-update" output.
