Note, first of all I haven't actually updated, I'm just running
"yum update"
to see what conflicts, if any, I get so I can be prepared when the final
7.7 release happens.
I've traditionally used the nvidia packages from elrepo, but recently
enabled rpmfusion (back when I started using 7.x, I disabled rpmfusion
because it took them a looooong time to get a EL7 repository up).
I use the priority plugin in yum, and have elrepo at priority 50
and rpmfusion at priority 60, so the elrepo nvidia packages
should "win", but yum seems to be confused about which packages
to use.
So now when doing yum update (with CR enabled) I get this long list
of dependency issues regarding the nvidia packages. I don't see any
reason to switch to the rpmfusion packages, elrepo seems to do a good
job of packaging and keeping them up to date:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

I'd suggest you stick to one or the other, but not enable both at the same time. What does it look like if you just disable the rpmfusion repo? yum update --diaablerepo=rpmfusion Do things look more sane now?

I was under the impression that the priorities feature of yum was for the specific purpose of controlling the order in which repos were used for updates, etc. I have elrepo set with a lower number (40) than rpmfusion (50), so why wouldn't yum be prevented from installing files from rpmfusion in preference to those from elrepo? I've used the elrepo nvidia drivers for some years and been pleased with the level of service you provide. For free, yet! :) thanks in advance! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ------------------------------- Romans 5:8 (niv) ------------------------------
