Alright guys, I've tried to do the leg work here and I can't figure this one out. I might be missing something obvious here, but I'm not really sure what it is. Here is the situation. I'm building a spamassassin rpm (from the latest spec file as released w/ the spamassassin distro) and installing it on a Fedora Core 3 system. For some reason when I run yum update yum attempts to install the version from the Fedora Updates repo, even though the one of the system is newer (Fedora Updates has 3.0.1 - installed version is 3.0.2). Yum fails at the test trasaction change stage and exits. I suspect this may be an issue because of the fact that FC3's spamassassin package Obsoletes perl-Mail-SpamAssassin while the spamassassin 3.0.2 package from the spec file in the distro requires it. Here is a little background info: [root@kronos ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i spamassassin spamassassin-3.0.2-1.fc3.zvx perl-Mail-SpamAssassin-3.0.2-1.fc3.zvx [root@kronos ~]# yum -d 10 update Yum Version: 2.2.0 COMMAND: yum -d 10 update Installroot: / ...
