The livna rpms aren't by chance using a serial number that would identify them as newer internally are they? I ran into this a while back with the ximian packages that came out a year or so back. I don't mind the idea of two repositories providing the same package. For example, redhat 9, and rh9 updates both provide postfix, however I have my own addon repo which provides a home rolled postfix package as well. Adding a weight to my repo to take priority would be great. Jim P. --On Monday, December 29, 2003 4:25 AM -0500 "Robert P. J.
