ATRPMS, RPMForge, and EPEL contain many conficts if all are used together. You can mitigate this by using the priorities plugin in yum ... but eventually you will also have to use "exclude=" and maybe even "includepkgs=" options. See "man yum.conf" for details. No amount of posting or ranting / complaining on the CentOS mailing list will solve this problem. ATRPMS, RPMForge, and EPEL each have mailing lists and each have packaging guidelines and community leaders, etc. Those mailing lists are the place where these issues MIGHT be solved ... not here. The CentOS Project has no input into what ANY of these repos do, so complaining, whining, bitching, moaning, ranting, screaming, gnashing of teeth, or any other thing ... when done on this list ... will have no impact on the situation. SO, please take it to the appropriate place. As to what my personal option is about this situation .. please see this thread (on the appropriate mailing list): http://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2007-April/msg00129.html Thanks, Johnny Hughes
