Just did an update with yum, and got this error when running the transaction check.
Transaction Check Error: package freetype-2.1.9-1.2.2.el4.rf (which is newer than freetype-2.1.9-1.rhel4.4) is already installed
Yum then quit. What do I need to do to fix this error? This is a first for me. x86-64 machine.
Thanks.......

It would appear that you've updated freetype from the rpmforge repository, and that repository is now disabled. You can either:
- Ignore freetype updates from the CentOS repositories and continue to get updates from rpmforge.
- Uninstall the rpmforge rpm and reinstall the CentOS version, and exclude freetype from any future updates from rpmforge
Looking into the protectbase or priorities plugins to yum may help you eliminate any future instances of this issue.
FWIW, I leave the rpmforge repo enabled, but I use a specific list of includepkgs so that only certain things that I know I need come from there.

I odn't have the rpmforge repo set up. Only dag and the defaults. Don't really know where the freetype came from unless it was the dag.
Can I remove the freetype package that was downloaded then continue with the yum update, or how do I get rid of the thing ?

I got it. I just excluded the freetype package and it went ahead and did the rest of the update. I'll have to remember that next time I do an update.
Thanks...

It is worth to have a look at following yum documentation when running 3rd party repositories:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/4/docs/html/yum/sn-yum-maintenance.html#sn-y... => protectbase
