Folks
While trying to add a second desktop to my Centos7 installation (I had
GNOME3, wanted to add KDE as an alternate), the install failed:
<snip>
I use priorities, as follows:
1: base
2: centosplus
3: updates
4: extras
5: cr
6: contrib
7: epel
Can anyone explain this? or let me know how to get around it?
Rebuilding the server from scratch is definitely possible since this is
a test environment only.
you need the same priority for updates as base, since packages in
updates update packages in... base ;-)
change updates prio to 1 and you should be good.
BTW cr should also have prio 1 (same as base and updates) since when
it exists it also updates packages in base+updates.

YIKES -- to think I've had that mistake for years since WhiteBox
Linux and never knewshu. Lots of other updates happened, and then a
reboot to use a new Kernel, and finally KDE installed without a hitch.
Yum/Priorities/Repos maintainer: Maybe there should be a suggestion,
or "default" setting of priorities that at least does what the above
suggests, or comments to that effect in the repo files so others
won't make the same mistake I did.
Thanks a lot
David
