I thought that these were all core rpms. Why should I take the new ones from DAG?
Thanks Rob
Dag's repo (or any other one for that matter) will give you the latest packages that are there for any that you have installed.
If you don't want that behavior, there are things that can be done to prevent that.
What I always do is this (on CentOS-4):
In the file that I have named dag.repo (in /etc/yum.repos.d) I include this line on each server:
includepkgs="package1-name package2-name"
...then only those packages can be used from dags repo ... no others will be updated from there.
Also, you can use the "exclude=" option of yum to prevent some packages from being looked at.
Here is a yum docs page: http://wiki.linux.duke.edu/Yum

sorry, confused. Does this finally resolve itself.?
it comes and goes. It can just go away in a few minutes. Here is a list of the mirrors: http://apt.sw.be/
