The builtin yum module executes some sqlite queries to search RPM's
database in a different thread, and at the moment to execute one of
builtin yum module methods to execute the update, it breaks complaining
about the thread which is calling this method is not the correct.

Looks like the class responsible to execute this queries prevents that a
different thread than thread running/importing the YumBase class execute
the sqlite queries. Doing a basic debug, I could check that the CherryPy
thread is the main thread responsible to execute this queries - instead
of the thread running kimchi.server module.

So, once the logic to update the packages using the builtin yum methods
is the same of shell command "yum -y -d 0 -e 0 update", I decided to use
this command until I debug better the problem and find an "elegant"
solution.

It's related to the first column of the output. I understood that is
about the status of the package in the system. All packages with "v" has
update candidates to be installed. The output of this command, only
prints packages with update candidates.
