Craig,
Install the redhat-logos package from centos and the desktop-backgrounds package from centos these 2 packages control the look and fee of the distribution and don't really track upstream packages at all.
You will have to force the redhat-logos install as the upstream version has a higher number than CentOS-5 at this time:
upstream: 4.9.16-1 centos: 4.9.8-6
The CentOS version of redhat-logos does not track the upstream version (and that is one of 2 packages that _HAS_TO_ be replaced do rebuilding entities) so that is why yum will not install it.
We should probably release a newer version of redhat-logos to make our package install instead as an upgrade to the upstream one, but you can manually download the package and do:
rpm -Uvh --force <centos-version>.rpm
---- OK - here's my methodology for upgrading in case it helps someone
cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release-saved rpm -e --nodeps redhat-release-notes \ redhat-releaserpm \ yum-rhn-plugin \ redhat-logos rpm -ivh \
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/centos-release-5-0.0.el5.ce... \
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/centos-release-notes-5.0.0-... yum update
Seems to have worked just fine (redhat-logos replaced automatically as a dependency)
Thanks for the help, sorry about the html but I the long lines were breaking
