Super, thanks for the tip. Turned out the &#39;enabled&#39; parameter was 1. Changed it to 0 and all is well. Now 0 packages are excluded  due to priorities.<br><br>Can anyone share a default CentOS-Base.repo file here, please? Just for my verification.<br>
<br>Happy to report resolution in the Paramiko problem too. The power of soft links knows no bounds :)<br><br><br clear="all">--<br>Raghu Narasimhan<br><br><a href="mailto:raghu.united@gmail.com">raghu.united@gmail.com</a><br>

&gt; In the yum configuration file, there are may mirrors listed in a few files:<br>
&gt; What should the priorities be? (I wnt to make sure no packages are excluded.<br>
&gt; 336 is a very large number)<br>

</div>This has nothing to do with mirrors. You definitely *want* priorities to keep<br>
your core CentOS files intact and not overwritten by rpmforge. Make sure that<br>
none of your repos has a lower priority number than centos-base and updates.<br>
