Re: [CentOS] yum priorities question

Hi,

"yum update" wants to replace the above package with the following:

Package: geoip.i386 1.4.5-1.el5.rf Repo: rpmforge Priority for rpmforge: 15

The package names are different, so probably "geoip" (from RPMforge) obsoletes "GeoIP" from CentOS.

In that case, for priorities to work and exclude the one that obsoletes the other, you have to set this option in the [main] section of /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf:

check_obsoletes=1

Look for the thread about perl-DBD-mysql vs. perl-DBD-MySQL, it's probably the same issue.

HTH, Filipe
