Hello,
I have a question about working principles of yum.
Here are the details:
Installed package: GeoIP.i386 1.4.4-1.el5.centos Repo: CentOS Extras Priority for CentOS Extras repo: 1
"yum update" wants to replace the above package with the following:
Package: geoip.i386 1.4.5-1.el5.rf Repo: rpmforge Priority for rpmforge: 15
And yes, the following is already in the priorities.conf [main] enabled=1
Why does yum try to replace the package from a repo with higher priority? Isn't "yum priorities" supposed to keep it?

Strange, because it works here:
[root@shutdown Documentation]# yum -v update | grep -i geoip --> geoip-devel-1.4.0-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge excluded (priority) --> geoip-1.4.0-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge excluded (priority) --> geoip-1.4.4-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge excluded (priority) --> geoip-1.4.5-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge excluded (priority) --> geoip-devel-1.4.4-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge excluded (priority) --> geoip-devel-1.4.5-1.el5.rf.x86_64 from rpmforge excluded (priority) --> GeoIP-devel-1.4.4-2.el5.kb.x86_64 from kbs-CentOS-Testing excluded (priority) --> GeoIP-devel-1.4.4-2.el5.kb.x86_64 from kbs-CentOS-Testing excluded (priority) --> GeoIP-1.4.4-2.el5.kb.x86_64 from kbs-CentOS-Testing excluded (priority) --> GeoIP-1.4.4-2.el5.kb.x86_64 from kbs-CentOS-Testing excluded (priority) [root@shutdown Documentation]#

Just to be thorough, run this; rpm -qa | grep priorities

Checked that, already enabled. Here is an excerpt from CentOS-Base.repo:
... #additional packages that may be useful [extras] name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&rep... gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-5 protect=0 priority=1 ...
"yum update" prints the following info on the screen: ... Excluding Packages in global exclude list Finished 355 packages excluded due to repository priority protections Setting up Update Process ...
So, it seems priorities plugin is there and working. I am stumped!
All the best, Mufit

I meant: is that *repo* enabled? But it seems the problem was different, anyway. obsoletes strikes again.

The package names are different, so probably "geoip" (from RPMforge) obsoletes "GeoIP" from CentOS.
In that case, for priorities to work and exclude the one that obsoletes the other, you have to set this option in the [main] section of /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf:
check_obsoletes=1
Look for the thread about perl-DBD-mysql vs. perl-DBD-MySQL, it's probably the same issue.

Yes Filipe, that's it!
Obviously, I overlooked this option in priorities.conf.
The below text is from http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities:
"Some packages specify obsoletes in their metadata. This property of a package specifies which old packages with a different name the package replaces. This can intefere with the priority protection of packages, if a package from a low-priority repository contains an obsoletion for package from a high-priority repository. For instance, if the gconfmm2 package was installed from a high-priority repository, and another package (say gconfmm20) claims to replace the obsolete gconfmm2 package, Yum will replace the gconfmm2 package with the gconfmm20 package. This plugin can prevent such upgrades, by adding the following line to the main section of /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf: check_obsoletes=1 "
This option works nice.
Thank you for the hint.

No problem! :-)
By the way, in a previous thread ("rpmforge, perl-dbd-mysql, yum, priorities, centos, and you") it was suggested that this option should be made default in CentOS... developers, any words on that? Is the "priorities" plug-in CentOS specific or is it upstream provided? In the latter case, could we open a bug upstream for that?
