Next, install priorities plugin: "yum install yum-plugin-priorities -y" and add "priorities=<number>" line for each repository in /etc/yum.repos.d/ directory, where number will be set to form a hierarchy: base: 10 centosplus: 10 contrib: 10 epel: 20 extras: 15 remi: 30 rpmforge: 40 rpmforge-extras: 50 updates: 10 But you must be careful to add priorities= line to ANY NEW repository you add before you run yum, and give it number larger of 10 to preserve the main repositories and stability of your system. Any number >= 10 will mean that yum can replace main packages with ones from that repository! Once you setup this, run "yum downgrade tcp_wrappers-libs" to solve your problem, "yum list installed | grep @rpmforge-testing" and "yum list installed | grep @rpmforge*" to see any replaced/installed packages from repoforge repository (not a good thing to replace packages from main CentOS repos). List all installed packages from @rpmforge*: yum list installed | grep @rpmforge* | awk '{print $1}' Look/compare if installed package was replaced: yum list <packages> --showduplicates --disableplugin=*priorities* I can not from top of my help adapt the list from first command to ditch everything after the last "." and then remove EOL. Maybe someone can solve it and provide a one-liner for you (and the rest of us :) ) to compare the list of installed packages with all available packages from provided list (first command). -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe StarOS, Mikrotik and CentOS/RHEL/Linux consultant
