To avoid similar problems in the future, can you give me some guidelines for priority settings? It seems I got it wrong somewhere:-) Thanks

It is not wise to have third-party repositories overwriting base packages. This should only be used by hand per package basis.

I have created local repository where I copy packages I wish to replace and only that "third-party" repository has same priority as official repositories.

RPMForge (now RepoForge) has "non-violent", or safe repository that *should not* contain packages that overwrite base packages, and "violent" repository named "extras" that is meant to overwrite base packages.
