Hi Christian, I had a similar issue when using rpms I created. To get them to install properly I needed to set the priority with yum priorities. Here is an article that discusses how to do so for RPM Forge. Look under Point 2. Where it says "2.1. Priorities" on the following link. http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/RPMForge I would do this in the %post section ################ %post yum install yum-plugin-priorities cat <<EOF>> /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf [main] enabled=1 EOF cat <<EOF>> /etc/my-custom-yum-repo.repo repo --name=csddev --baseurl=http://amigo:82/home:/csd:/branches:/MeeGo:/1.0:/Core/ARM_Cross/ --save --debuginfo --source repo --name=core --baseurl=http://amigo:82/MeeGo:/1.0:/Core/ARM_Cross --save --debuginfo --source priority=1 EOF ## Then install the package Yum erase the-package-I-don't-want Yum install my-special-package-with-a-duplicate-name ############# I hope that helps.
