If not, what am I overlooking here? The way the priority system works, the highest priority is 1. If you want something to replace packages, it has to have the same or a higher priority (which is a lower numerical value). So, if your OS repo priority is 1, you would have to set the CR repo's Priority to 1 as well to get it to replace packages from the OS repo. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
