Is this ok [y/N]: n

I would like for both devel packages to be installed rather than  
updated.
Looking back in the archives, this happened before. It was suggested  
to use

installonlypackages=kernel-smp-devel

I have put this line in my CentOS-Base.repo file, in the updates  
section, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Is that the right  
place?

Thanks,

this has been a known issue for sometime, and has been fixed in
yum-2.4.3 which we are now testing and should be released soon.

if you want a more immediate fix, look through the list achieves, its
been mentioned before.
