[CentOS] yum priorities question

Hello,

I have a question about working principles of yum.

Here are the details:

Installed package: GeoIP.i386 1.4.4-1.el5.centos
Repo: CentOS Extras
Priority for CentOS Extras repo: 1

"yum update" wants to replace the above package with the following:

Package: geoip.i386 1.4.5-1.el5.rf
Repo: rpmforge
Priority for rpmforge: 15

And yes, the following is already in the priorities.conf
[main]
enabled=1

Why does yum try to replace the package from a repo with higher 
priority? Isn't "yum priorities" supposed to keep it?

Regards,
Mufit

Strange, because it works here:

[root at shutdown Documentation]# yum -v update | grep -i geoip
 --> geoip-devel-1.4.0-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge excluded (priority)
 --> geoip-1.4.0-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge excluded (priority)
 --> geoip-1.4.4-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge excluded (priority)
 --> geoip-1.4.5-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge excluded (priority)
 --> geoip-devel-1.4.4-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge excluded (priority)
 --> geoip-devel-1.4.5-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge excluded (priority)
 --> GeoIP-devel-1.4.4-2.el5.kb.x86_64 from kbs-CentOS-Testing excluded

[root at shutdown Documentation]#

double-check that! For instance, if this repo is not enabled, the priority 
will not work!

The package names are different, so probably "geoip" (from RPMforge)
obsoletes "GeoIP" from CentOS.

In that case, for priorities to work and exclude the one that
obsoletes the other, you have to set this option in the [main] section
of /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf:

check_obsoletes=1

Look for the thread about perl-DBD-mysql vs. perl-DBD-MySQL, it's
probably the same issue.

HTH,
Filipe
