E.g. what's the meaning of the "@" symbol and "installed" > with reference to repositories? yes - prior to yum 3.2.23 we didn't have a place to store from which repo any pkg was installed. Now we do. so if a pkg is marked as 'installed' then it is either installed with a yum preceding that version or not installed by yum. the @name means from which repo the installed pkg came from. -sv _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
