That is a simple one (to be confirmed by the observation that I can answer it). In yum.conf, within the "[main]" section (I place this last) put: exclude=/package-/* where "/package/" is the name of the package you wish to exclude from update. For example, I exclude groff from updates via: exclude=groff-* Now /yum update/ skips the groff updates (with a message to indicate the existance of the global exclude). OK?
