If you have the epel repo installed and enabled during a yum update, you get java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.0.b12.el5.2 instead of the stock .b09 version. Is this intentional and desirable? I thought epel generally did not replace stock components with newer versions.
Any third party repo has the potential to replace base files. That is why the priorities and the protectbase plugins were written.
On my CentOS 5 Desktop, when I added the EPEL repository, and gave it a very low priority, the number of excluded packages more than quadrupled. "1648 packages excluded due to repository priority protections"
