OK, I am figuring something out here, except I'm not sure exactly how it works. Apparently the /etc/yum.conf file can contain only a certain number of exclude lines, and maybe they have to be in a certain order. Or something. I actually have two things I want to exclude: One is anything relating to OOo, and the other is anything related to VLGothic fonts (for Japanese). I've tried all kinds of exclude lines, and no combination can seem to exclude everything. For years I had just: exclude=openoffice.org* Then I added just a few days ago: exclude=VLGothic-fonts-* After adding the VLGothic line is when the Software Update GUI started showing me the openoffice.org-ure package. My current theory is that it reads only the last exclude line and disregards all exclude lines before it. Here is the exact total of my /etc/yum.conf file: ------- [main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum keepcache=0 debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log exactarch=1 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 plugins=1 installonly_limit=3 # This is the default, if you make this bigger yum won't see if the metadata # is newer on the remote and so you'll "gain" the bandwidth of not having to # download the new metadata and "pay" for it by yum not having correct # information. # It is esp. important, to have correct metadata, for distributions like # Fedora which don't keep old packages around. If you don't like this checking # interupting your command line usage, it's much better to have something # manually check the metadata once an hour (yum-updatesd will do this). # metadata_expire=90m # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d #exclude=openoffice.org* #exclude=openoffice.org-ure* #exclude=openoffice.org-ure-1:3.3.3.0-20.5.fc14(x86_64) #exclude=VLGothic-fonts-* exclude=openoffice* exclude=VLGothic* ------- And with the above settings the Software Update utility presents me with the openoffice.org-ure package, but not the VLGothic fonts package. If I reverse the last two exclude lines it shows me the VLGothic fonts package, but not the openoffice.org-ure package. So perhaps there is a bug in the way the Software Update utility reads the file, or in Yum, or someplace. Or maybe I need to change a setting somewhere to make it respect all the exclude lines. Or something else is wrong. At this point I think I need to take this to the Fedora forums, but if anyone can shed any light on the way the exclude lines work in /etc/yum.conf, I'd be delighted to know. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to users-unsubscr...@openoffice.org For additional commands send email to sy...@openoffice.org with Subject: help
