For example, CentOS adds cloud-related ones to the centos-extras repo which may overlap EPEL's. By the way, when I ran the same yum repolist command on my RHEL box with epel enabled, there was no conflict. Akemi

So it seems that folks in epel do take care not to create conflicts, but wrt. to RHEL, but not CentOS. Given that, I'd just like to know which packages to check for on my machine... :-) Thanks, :-) Marko

Can yum spell them out for me somehow?If you include the "-v" option in that "yum repolist" command you'll see what packages were excluded by the priorities plugin. -- Bob Nichols "NOSPAM" is really part of my email address.
