Hello,
I run CentOS 3.4 on 3 machines (i386). Original yum.conf
If I do a yum update: No actions to take
If I do a yum upgrade a machine that has no spamassassin: No actions to take
If I do a yum upgrade on 2 machines that have perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.1-1 installed (3rd party rpm, more recent than the CentOS/RHEL one):
I will do the following: [update: spamassassin 2.55-3.4.i386] I will install/upgrade these to satisfy the dependencies: [deps: perl-Time-HiRes 1.38-3.i386] Is this ok [y/N]:
Could someone please explain this behavior? Why is yum upgrade trying to upgrade a package that is a newer 3rd party rpm, with a different name?
Thanks, Francois
I think it is because the names are not the same for the packages ... you should be able to stop this by adding this line to the top of your /etc/yum.conf file:
exclude=spamassassin
