We upgraded a 64 bit server from Centos 4 to 5 and encountered some strange problems.

I've seen this problem both for CentOS and Fedora.

An example could be:

CentOS 4.x: has foo-7.2-el4 CentOS 4.x updates: has foo-7.4-el4 CentOS 5: has foo-7.3-el5

So when you do an upgrade to CentOS 5, you don't get the el5 version as 7.3 < 7.4.

Last I did an upgrade of FC6 to F-7 I ended up with a system with non-functional yum because of some mismatching python modules...

I guess it is a problem that is not very easy to solve.

You could try with an:

# rpm -qa|fgrep el4

and look for old packages.
