I ran into this headlong with Subversion: My system kept trying to reach back for the subverion.i386 and subversion-devel.i386 components, even though I 'd only asked for "subverison". One option is to exclude them in yum.conf. Another is to exclude them in your CentOS yum files. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
