You will have to force the redhat-logos install as the upstream version has a higher number than CentOS-5 at this time: upstream: 4.9.16-1 centos: 4.9.8-6 The CentOS version of redhat-logos does not track the upstream version (and that is one of 2 packages that _HAS_TO_ be replaced do rebuilding entities) so that is why yum will not install it. We should probably release a newer version of redhat-logos to make our package install instead as an upgrade to the upstream one, but you can manually download the package and do: rpm -Uvh --force <centos-version>.rpm
OK - here's my methodology for upgrading in case it helps someone
cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release-saved
rpm -e --nodeps redhat-release-notes \
redhat-releaserpm \
yum-rhn-plugin \
redhat-logos
rpm -ivh \
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/centos-release-5-0.0.el5.centos.2.i386.rpm \
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5/os/i386/CentOS/centos-release-notes-5.0.0-2.i386.rpm
yum update
Seems to have worked just fine (redhat-logos replaced automatically as a dependency)
Thanks for the help, sorry about the html but I the long lines were breaking
