They want it to see if foobar is obsoleted somewhere and push what obsoletes it in for the install/update, but if it isn't obsoleted, but only updated, then just to update foobar. so if you have foobar-1.0 -> installed and foobar-1.1 -> repository fembot-6.6 (obsoletes foobar) -> repository yum upgrade foobar would replace foobar 1.0 with fembot 6.6 But if you have foobar-1.0 -> installed and foobar-1.1 -> repository yum upgrade foobar would just replace foobar 1.0 with foobar 1.1 Troy -- __________________________________________________ Troy Dawson dawson@xxxxxxxx (630)840-6468 Fermilab ComputingDivision/OSS CSI Group __________________________________________________
