Thank you all for your comments and answers.
So if I understand correctly, centos-yumconf is a package that allows us to always have an updated version of CentOS ? Let's say that there is a new U4 update coming or a CentOS 4 version, this yumconf package would update our system to the latest version available, is that correct ?
Else, I didn't really understand the goal of the centos-yumconf package, if anybody could tell me that would be nice. I have read that it helps you to keep up to date, but if it overwrites the old yum.conf then we also loose our specific mirror settings. Or does it look into the yum.conf and change the necessary lines to reflect the new versions ? Also, I thought that this was the job of the $releasever variable and that we wouldn't have to change yum.conf afterwards.. I'm obviously a bit confused..
Thanks for any help on that.
Daniel

Hi Martin,
I have the same problem. I was frightened when I first saw this behaviour. For me this is catastrophic. It's why I disallowed yum to be updated itself, it's the best thing to do I think, until they have solved the problem.
If some others have had the same problem, please report also.. Thanks.
Easy solution.
rpm -e centos-yumconf
and make your yum.conf however you'd like.
-sv
The original problem is the symbolic link.
WAS the original problem :)
