I did install paramiko only after installing python2.4, so I am not sure why it installed itself into the site-packages folder in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages (2) this is my /etc/yum.conf *[main] cachedir=/var/cache/yum debuglevel=2 logfile=/var/log/yum.log pkgpolicy=newest installonlypkgs=kernel kernel-smp kernel-devel kernel-smp-devel kernel-largesmp kernel-largesmp-devel kernel-hugemem kernel-hugemem-devel distroverpkg=centos-release tolerant=1 exactarch=1 retries=20 obsoletes=1 gpgcheck=1 plugins=1 # PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo # in /etc/yum.repos.d * As you can see there are no exlcude parameters, so any idea where that 336 number is coming from? -- Raghu Narasimhan raghu.united at gmail.com On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 4:34 PM, Marcelo M.
