If I add priority=1 to [updates] in CentOS-Base.repo when I run "sudo yum update" I get the warning 66 packages excluded due to repository priority protections This does not seem to have any adverse effect, but what exactly does it mean? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

If you have only added a setting of 1 for updates then all other repos will have a priority of 99 (lower).
