Following on from my previous, I removed the perl-Date-Manip and re-installed the Centos base perl-DateManip package. When I do a "check-update" then it shows nothing needs to be done, but if I do an "update" then it tries to replace the package! In the following, c5-local, update-local, rpmforge are local rsync'd copies of the base, updates and rpmforge repositories. This shouldn't make any difference, though. $ yum clean all Loaded plugins: priorities Cleaning up Everything $ yum -d2 check-update Loaded plugins: priorities c5-local | 2.1 kB 00:00 c5-local/primary_db | 1.6 MB 00:00 extras-local | 1.1 kB 00:00 extras-local/primary | 107 kB 00:00 extras-local 325/325 rpmforge | 1.1 kB 00:00 rpmforge/primary | 3.6 MB 00:00 rpmforge 10065/10065 update-local | 1.9 kB 00:00 update-local/primary_db | 510 kB 00:00 476 packages excluded due to repository priority protections $ yum update Loaded plugins: priorities 476 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up Update Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package perl-Date-Manip.noarch 0:5.54-2.el5.rf set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved =============================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ===============================================================================Installing: perl-Date-Manip noarch 5.54-2.el5.rf rpmforge 210 k replacing perl-DateManip.noarch 5.44-1.2.1 Transaction Summary ===============================================================================Install 1 Package(s) Update 0 Package(s) Remove 0 Package(s) Total download size: 210 k Is this ok [y/N]: n Exiting on user Command Complete! $ -- rgds Stephen
