upgrade my containers from centos 6.4 to centos 6.5. I have upgraded the

know how to upgrade the containers.
A linux container is a clone of the host (*). So even though the host
has been updated, due to Linux philosophy running processes, deleted
files, ... are kept around as long as there somebody/something using
them. So you need to destroy and re-start the containers and the update
should take effect then.
