If it is actually newer, then it should happen automatically. Eg. given: httpd-tools-2.2.9-1.fc8.i386 httpd-tools-2.2.9-1.fc9.i386 ...the fc9 one will be newer. So there must be something else happening, it is somewhat likely that there is an actually newer package in Fedora 8, like: foo-1.0-2.fc8.i386 foo-1.0-1.fc9.i386 ...here you cannot do anything after the fc8 version is installed to make yum consider the fc9 version newer. Eventually the allowdowngrade plugin will work again, and you could do that ... or you can try force up/down grading whatever the problem is using rpm. Or try "yum update --skip-broken" to get almost everything updated, and then do what's needed with rpm to fixup whatever is left. -- James Antill -- james@xxxxxxx C String APIs use too much memory? ustr: length, ref count, size and read-only/fixed.
