Thanks again for your help!!!
is it possible that you have extras set at a different priority than base ... you also have the protectbase installed along with priorities (not recommended).
You should have these settings for [extras], [base] and [updates] sections in CentOS-Base.repo:
priority=1 protect=1
You should also (after properly configuring your repo files), use yum-priorities and remove yum-protectbase.
Johnny,
That fixed the problem. I had the Extras as set to a priority of 2. I also disabled protectbase. Can you comment about the use "protectbase" When should it be used?
Thank you much for your help!!!
Protectbase is basically priorities with only 2 options ... 1 and 0
Priorities is the same thing with 1 to 99 as options
So, if you need more control than protected and unprotected, then you want to use priorities.
Here is more info on each:
