You just stimulated me to try it. Tested on a fully-updated CentOS 4.5 VMware install (Workstation+development packages) - no previous 3rd party repos or other non-CentOS packages installed. Installed yum-plugin-priorities-0.0.5-2.el4.centos. Added ATrpms repo with priorities set lower (higher number) than base repos, and did update.
Seems yum wants to update yum with the ATrpms version, but fails on dependencies that are caught by the priorities. ???
Let me know if info other than below is needed.
Thanks for catching this! The problem is that yum is an i386 package in ATRPMS, while it is a noarch package in our repositories. This was not a problem without multi-arch support (though, this had other problems, see RH bug: 227540).
I think/guess the easiest fix is asking ATRPMS whether they can make their yum package noarch (since there seem to be no arch-specific files in it).
