AFAIK no, by yum logic it would mean that the repository is incorrect and will not accept the update.
Did you try yum localinstall? (download the rpm first and then try) Cheers, Ohad -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Oded Arbel Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 1:24 PM To: IGLU Mailing list Subject: Yum problem (or: do RedHat suck ? why, yes they do!) Hi list. I'm trying to work with CentOS 4.3 (RHEL 4.3 based distro) but some of the stuff it uses is too old for my needs, so I thought I'd upgrade some of the stuff to Fedora Core 4 (which IIRC is the closest Fedora Core release that is newer then RHEL 4.3 - and it includes what I need). Problem: what I want to install eventually requires me to upgrade python from the CentOS version (2.3) to the Fedora Core 4 version (2.4), and due to this it needs to upgrade a python component called python-elementtree, as it requires a specific python ABI version. But the version Fedora Core 4 carries (compiled against 2.4) has the exact same version and package release number as the CentOS version (compiled against 2.3), and so yum refuses to download and install it which causes it to complain about missing dependencies and to abort the install. Is there any way to tell yum to download the newer version even though it has the exact same version information? From perusing the documentation I couldn't find anything about it. -- Oded ::..
