Hi CentOS Mailinglist,
we are using amavisd-new (with all dependencies) from Fedora/Redhat EPEL repo. Some packages from EPEL repo are very old. (amavisd-new, clamav, spamassassin)
What's the best way to remove all amavisd-new packages (and it's dependencies) from EPEL repo and reinstall it from rpmforge repo?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Morten

To see what repos you have installed packages from: [code] rpm -qa --qf "%{VENDOR} \n" | sort | uniq [/code] The result should be a list of VENDOR tags. To see the packages from a particular Vendor, for example EPEL:[code] rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %{VENDOR} \n" | grep "Fedora Project" | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | sort [/code] The result should be a list of EPEL packages.
Remove all, or all related to the packages you want to remove, then disable EPEL, or set it to a lower priority than RPMforge. Enable RPMforge, and install the packages you want.
If the RPMforge packages are all later versions, then the prior removal should not be necessary. A simple "yum update" with the correct repo configuration should be sufficient.

Hi Phil,
This command is great to list (and remove) all packages from EPEL repository.
Thank you very much.
Best regards,
Morten
