Re: pm-utils - ATrpms updates a system package on the stable branch

on 7-7-2008 12:45 PM Kenneth Burgener spake the following:
I performed a clean minimal CentOS 5.2 install, fully updated the system, and then added the ATrpms repository. When I perform an update after adding the ATrpms repository, the package pm-utils is updated the the ATrpms repository. My understanding is there should not have been any updates as the stable version does not update system packages, right?

"The CentOS 5/RHEL 5 repository from atrpms.net is safe to use, if you only use the stable version. Packages in there do not overwrite system packages." [1]

If this is true, why did this package get updated?

Thanks,
Kenneth

You need to use the priorities plugin if you are going to use 3rd party repos. There is no other safe way about it.
