IIRC, the docs say that a protect is needed for all? Protected ones have "1" and unprotected have 0? I don't recall if they said a default was assumed if the protect statement wqas not found. > > However, when I do yum check-update as in the following example, there > are zero package exclusions and the Dag repo package for rsync (which is > a CentOS base package, I believe) is listed: > > [cwfox at lurker ~]$ sudo yum check-update --enablerepo=dag rsync > Loading "protectbase" plugin > Loading "fastestmirror" plugin > Setting up repositories > Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile > Reading repository metadata in from local files > 0 packages excluded due to repository protections > > rsync.i386 2.6.8-1.el4.rf dag > [cwfox at lurker ~]$ rpm -qi rsync > Name : rsync Relocations: /usr > Version : 2.6.3 Vendor: CentOS > Release : 1 Build Date: Mon Feb 21 > 07:16:46 2005 > Install Date: Wed Aug 10 14:28:27 2005 Build Host: guru.build.karan.org > Group : Applications/Internet Source RPM: > rsync-2.6.3-1.src.rpm > Size : 262544 License: GPL > Signature : DSA/SHA1, Sat Feb 26 11:37:08 2005, Key ID a53d0bab443e1821 > Packager : Karanbir Singh <kbsingh at centos.org> > Summary : A program for synchronizing files over a network. > > > Shouldn't this package from the Dag repository be on the exclusion list > or am I misunderstanding the way protectbase is supposed to work? There is a thread posted in the last few days complaining that check- update does not give the same results as a real yum up date run. Maybe that is your problem here too? Do yum update and reply 'n' if it is not your problem and the update won't happen. > > Best Regards, > Camron > HTH -- Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
