This is my first major version update after using a local repo. It seems that before I can "yum update" I have to fetch the complete new 5.2 base? Is this correct? When I run yum update it now fails with various strange dependency errors although all the updates are synced. When I change to using the original repo file it wants to download many many more and shows a lot of files that are in base and not in updates.
