I think it should be:
(for kbs) protect=1
and
(for dag) protect=0
ahm, yes, of course, I typed that from memory, just a typo.
Also ... did you remember to add plugins=1 to your /etc/yum.conf file.
It's all okay, protectbase *does* work, (proven by the fact that the rpmforge clam package - 0.88.2 - doesn't try to upgrade the kbs-extras package - 0.88.1 - ) but not in this case! It seems the replace/obsoletes or whatever is in the rpmforge package overrides the protect. And even if it didn't work it wouldn't explain the difference between check-update and update. That should always be the same. If yum shows something different when doing check-update than what it is then actually going to do I can't rely on check-update (and protect in this case). Anyone has clam from kbs-extras installed and not yet upgraded?
