This is not something that is available via yum?
In which case why do I have 30 or 40 packages that are being called
security updates, released in the last week, that still need the older
python? Something doesn't grok here. Like maybe I have the wrong repos
enabled?
Maybe, a yum repolist says rpmfusion is for el5, maybe that is what I need
to fix. How?
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene
