Greets;
This centos6.2 system seems to have python-2.6.6, but that is turning into a huge problem because I now have a backlog of about 40 packages that will not upgrade because they all need python 2.4.
This is not something that is available via yum?
In which case why do I have 30 or 40 packages that are being called security updates, released in the last week, that still need the older python? Something doesn't grok here. Like maybe I have the wrong repos enabled?
Maybe, a yum repolist says rpmfusion is for el5, maybe that is what I need to fix. How?
Thanks.

Remove your old rpmfusion repository package for el5, and follow the instruction in http://rpmfusion.org/Configuration/ to install the new one.
Attempting that get this in an error box: The name org.freedesktop.PackageKit was not provided by any .service files
But I believe it did download the file(s). However, doing the command line version also threw some errors: Revealing that the epel is set for 5.4. Hard to find the correct linkage instructs, they are quite a few entries down from the top google hits when searching.
Its an hour later, and I have installed and renamed the rpmnew's, even nuked a few packages it downloaded but couldn't install, and on a restart, yum is still showing me 21 packages to update, all from an el5 repo. There is not any file surviving in yum.repos.d that contains a reference to el5, so where is that cache being held so I can nuke it?
Thanks.
After that you should remove all el5 packages which were installer from rpmfusion for el5.
-vpk
The only file that had an el5 mark was adobe's flash plugin, which didn't work in konqerer anyway, so I changed the pref to firefox because it did work there. But I had yum nuke it anyway.
Thanks & Cheers, Gene
