At best it just says that your centos-release rpm has not been updated and/or there is no system level state change that required metadata in that file. Note that any CentOS machine, updated to the same point in time, regardless of where and how it was privisioned should give you the same functional package set. This is an important thing. -- Karanbir Singh +44-207-0999389 | http://www.karan.org/ | twitter.com/kbsingh GnuPG Key : http://www.karan.org/publickey.asc
