I am trying to update a host from 5.2 to 5.3 via yum in sections
(yum update a\* b\* etc.). I am seeing this error very frequently:
# yum update red/*

I have completed moving to 5.3 on two other hosts, one with a single
java package error as previously reported. What is happening here?
How do I fix it? I do not recall adding python packages to this
host from other repositories, but it is possible that I did at some
point.
I have checked the release notes and the updates repo is enabled.
All third-party repos are disabled.
Help?
