Hi,
The lower the priority number, the higher it's priority.
So, in your case, rpmforge has a higher priority than adobe, thus it
yum-priorities will exclude the adobe version and instead choose the
rpmforge version.
If you don't want to edit your priorities, you can manually exclude the
flash-plugin from RPMforge, thus allowing the adobe version.
Add the following line to your repo (Below priority)
exclude=flash-plugin
This will exclude that specific package from RPMForge, you can use
wildcards and add additional packages if you choose.
For example, you could do:
exclude=flash*plugin clam*
etc, to add additional packages or options, and it will then choose to
get those packages from the next highest priority repository.
Hope this helps :-).
Kind Regards,
