I just did a yum update. It pulled in a number of updates including the latest firefox and davfs2.i386.

Then I watch the following show up during the cleanup phase of yum (/var/log/messages):

Mar 28 15:42:18 nc2400 Erased: jdk Mar 28 15:42:25 nc2400 Erased: jre Mar 28 15:42:31 nc2400 Erased: fuse-davfs2

Are the first jsut removal of the alternatives? How do I tell and how do I find that message where I got what to do. There were soo many "alternatives" I tried til I got it right......

And something did happen to fuse-davfs2, becuase I now get:

/sbin/mount.davfs: can't open fuse device /sbin/mount.davfs: trying coda kernel file system /sbin/mount.davfs: no free coda device to mount

None of those things are provided by CentOS ...

you can see what was installed and removed looking in /var/log/yum.log

you may need to adjust dueling 3rd party repos with the priorities plugin and/or adding exclude=<pkg_names> to some 3rd party repo definitions to get/keep specific packages from specific repos.
