[CentOS] yum-priorities behavior with downgrades [was: sa-update error with perl]

2012-01-09 Thread email builder
After solving my problem by downgrading perl-NetAddr-IP to the CentOS repo's version, yum is of course telling me perl-NetAddr-IP is out of date and needs to be updated (back to the buggy one in RepoForge). So looks like yum-priorities is in order (ha! the pun!), but I have a question >> Hmm, OK

  The only hints I can find seem to suggest to remove   perl-IO-Socket-INET6, but trying to do so using yum (I don't   want to start using another method of package management)   tells me that spamassassin is a dependency and will also be   removed - obviously undesirable.

Hello, As I've learned recently, I do not have any auto updates configured on my system. I see some posts on the web encouraging the use of "yum-cron", but I'd like to know what people feel about the use of automatic updates. That is, for a server (non-desktop) system, automatic updates co
