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.
