Note that the 13.37.2 file is from 13-Sep-2006, while the 33.0.2 is from 19-Jan-2008, so the installed version is indeed newer than the one that yum is saying I need. Doing "rpm -q xorg-x11-tools xorg-x11-devel xorg-x11-libs xorg-x11-xfs xorg-x11" gives: package xorg-x11-tools is not installed xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.2 xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.2 package xorg-x11-xfs is not installed package xorg-x11 is not installed Note that when I try "yum install xorg-x11" and "yum install xorg-x11-xfs", I get the same errors as with xorg-x11-tools: Error: Missing Dependency: xorg-x11-libs = 6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2 is needed by package xorg-x11 Error: Missing Dependency: xorg-x11-libs = 6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2 is needed by package xorg-x11-xfs Doing "yum install xorg-x11-tools --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=base --enablerepo=update" gives the same result as "yum install xorg-x11-tools". I would try uninstalling and reinstalling, but "yum remove xorg-x11-libs" would remove 22 other packages that I need, so that's not an option. So the question remains, why does it say I need xorg-x11-libs 6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2 when I have xorg-x11-libs 6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.2 installed?
