To avoid similar problems in the future, can you give me some guidelines for priority settings? It seems I got it wrong somewhere:-) Thanks
It is not wise to have third-party repositories overwriting base packages. This should only be used by hand per package basis.
I have created local repository where I copy packages I wish to replace and only that "third-party" repository has same priority as official repositories.
RPMForge (now RepoForge) has "non-violent", or safe repository that *should not* contain packages that overwrite base packages, and "violent" repository named "extras" that is meant to overwrite base packages.
Thanks. I think that makes it clear - it seems that if I see this sort of problem again I have to look at repositories that are not normally enabled, and consider whether to temporarily enable them. Is it safe to leave rpmfusion-free-updates.repo and rpmfusion-nonree-updates.repo without a specific priority setting? The various testing repos are not enabled.
