Apologies for the silly question. First time I've attempted to do an upgrade.. going from an install of 7.0 to 7.1 In /etc/yum/vars, I have releasever=7, slreleasever=7x. yum-conf-sl7x is installed. I had redhat epel enabled, but I've disabled it. I pulled in an R stat package from 7.1.. which I wonder if that is somehow contributing to my problem.
Anyway.. like I said.. releasever=7, slreasever=7x and then.. yum clean all yum upgrade No packages marked for update. yum clean all yum update sl-release No packaged marked for update. Yet, when I look in /etc/sl-release it says 7.1. /etc/redhat-release also says 7.1. I probably got lazy and sloppy. Fortunately there's nothing I can't live w/o on this laptop. Regards, Ria Caussyn
