Hi everyone,
This just came to my attention --- I have CentOS 7 installed on one machine, and have configured elrepo and epel as additional repositories. When I turned on the yum-priorities package (and set up priorities in the order base&updates < elrepo < epel), it turns out that there are 65 conflicting packages between base and epel, and additional 5 between elrepo and epel (there are no conflicts between base and elrepo, as expected).
As far as I understand, this shouldn't happen. Does anyone know which packages are conflicting, and why?
Here is the relevant yum output, note the excluded packages info:
# yum repolist Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, priorities Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: ftp.ines.lug.ro * elrepo: ftp.ines.lug.ro * epel: mirror.pmf.kg.ac.rs * extras: ftp.ines.lug.ro * updates: ftp.ines.lug.ro 70 packages excluded due to repository priority protections repo id repo name status base/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Base 8,652 elrepo ELRepo.org Community Enterprise Linux Repository - el7 143 epel/x86_64 Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - x86_64 8,025+70 extras/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Extras 128 updates/7/x86_64 CentOS-7 - Updates 682 repolist: 17,630

So what's going on with epel?
TIA, :-) Marko
