Try just doing: yum upgrade maven2 OR yum update maven2 All you have to do is specify the package name along with the yum command. It will then only update the one package instead of everything system wide. Andrew Reis Microsoft Windows/Networking Support Webmaster DBMS Inc.

Have some of the repos moved? I know a solution is yum clean all and then do yum update but then that also updates firefox and xulrunner for me which screws up product I use. Please tell me a way out. I dont want to do firefox/xulrunner upgrade, but just maven2 installation as suggested on the page thanks, pankaj -- पंकज एम तोलानी _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS at centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
