Hi Seth, sorry to bother, do You have some other idea why this is not working? I tried a bit of debugging, and it seems that code in postresolve_hook is not reached at all, even if I enable the allow-downgrade flag. [root@vmnci06 yum-cli]# yum --showduplicates list util-linux Loaded plugins: allowdowngrade, protectbase enabling allowdowngrade! 93 packages excluded due to repository protections Installed Packages util-linux.x86_64 2.13-0.47.el5 installed Available Packages util-linux.x86_64 2.13-lb5.01 lbox-testing [root@vmnci06 yum-cli]# yum --showduplicates --allow-downgrade install util-linux Loaded plugins: allowdowngrade, protectbase enabling allowdowngrade! 93 packages excluded due to repository protections Setting up Install Process Parsing package install arguments Package matching util-linux-2.13-lb5.01.x86_64 already installed. Checking for update. Nothing to do Any ideas? thanks in advance with best regards nik On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 10:08:25AM -0400, Seth Vidal wrote: > On Tue, 2008-08-19 at 11:18 +0200, Nikola Ciprich wrote: > > Hi, > > I'd like to use yum to downgrade packages, but I'm unable to get allowdowngrade plugin to work. > > > > [root@hbtest2 lb5.x86_64]# rpm -q util-linux > > util-linux-2.13-0.47.el5 > > > > [root@hbtest2 lb5.x86_64]# yum --allow-downgrade update util-linux-2.13-lb5.01.x86_64.rpm > > Loaded plugins: allowdowngrade, protectbase > > Excluding Packages in global exclude list > > Finished > > 90 packages excluded due to repository protections > > Setting up Update Process > > Examining util-linux-2.13-lb5.01.x86_64.rpm: util-linux-2.13-lb5.01.x86_64 > > util-linux-2.13-lb5.01.x86_64.rpm: does not update installed package. > > No Packages marked for Update > > [root@hbtest2 lb5.x86_64]# > > try this: > > yum --allow-downgrade install util-linux-2.13-lb5.01.x86_64.rpm > > -sv > > > _______________________________________________ > Yum mailing list > Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum > -- ------------------------------------- Nikola CIPRICH LinuxBox.cz, s.r.o. 28. rijna 168, 709 01 Ostrava tel.: +420 596 603 142 fax: +420 596 621 273 mobil: +420 777 093 799 www.linuxbox.cz mobil servis: +420 737 238 656 email servis: servis@xxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum
