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
