This is really annoying. > There is not a bug in yum (well, not in this case ... I'm sure yum has some bugs) ... the problem is that the repositories that you have chosen have conflicting packages, or you are not pointed to the proper CentOS repos. Please understand that adding 3rd party repositories and performing an update will replace core packages in CentOS. Also, with the proper version of CentOS release installed, it will say: CentOS-3 Base (and Addons, Extras, etc.) ... not CentOS-3.3 So ... somehow it seems that you do not have the proper centos-release installed, and that you are not getting the proper updates. Your yum.conf file for CentOS-3 should look like this for the CentOS portion if that file: ----------------- [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 #released updates [update] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/updates/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 #packages used/produced in the build but not released [addons] name=CentOS-$releasever - Addons baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/addons/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 #additional packages that may be useful [extras] name=CentOS-$releasever - Extras baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/extras/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 -------------------------------- AND ... you should have this centos-release file: centos-release-3-7.1 I'm not sure exactly what you have in your yum.conf ... but I just installed from a 3.3 CD and updated to 3.7 with no problems at all as a test. > > Jim Perrin wrote: > > >On 4/23/06, sophana <sophana at zizi.ath.cx> wrote: > > > > > >>What I don't understand, is that it works with centos 4. > >> > >> > >Centos 4 has a totally different package set, and a newer version of yum. > > > > > > > >>Is my rpm database broken? > >> > >> > >I have no clue.
