In fact, yum does not have an idea about what is a base package and what is an update, it just looks at all the configured repos and selects the newest version. On the other hand, if you tell yum "--disable-repo=updates", the updates repository will be hidden to the selection algorithm, so you will get the base version. -- Roberto Ragusa mail at robertoragusa.it -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
