Thanks John for the info.
As far as I know I'm NOT using the protect feature/plugin. I purposely set
up priorities back when I first installed Centos5 and purposely did NOT set
up the protect stuff. I read the documentation on the wiki about it and
decided that priorities made a lot more sense.
here's the first part of yum output, wherein it says nothing about
any protections other than via priority:
Loading "priorities" plugin
Loading "fastestmirror" plugin
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* pidgin: rpm.pidgin.im
* rpmforge: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de
* base: updates.interworx.info
* updates: mirror.trouble-free.net
* addons: mirrors.unbornmedia.com
* extras: mirror.trouble-free.net
Excluding Packages in global exclude list
Finished
412 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
Setting up Update Process
Resolving Dependencies
I've got priorities in CentOS-Base.repo set to 1 except for centosplus
and contrib which are 2. pidgin.repo has all three items set to priority
of 40, and rpmforge.repo is set to 10.
Anybody see anything wrong with that?
