I have a brand new RHEL4 server that I'm trying to update using "yum update". It's failing as follows: ----------< snip >---------- Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories dag 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 verio 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 rhn 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.

I see there is a newer version of python (2.4.4-1) in the verio repo. The other two installed packages are the latest available. The versions available in the rhn repo are both older. Is this indicating that yum would like to upgrade python to 2.4.4-1, but doing so would break libxml-python and libxslt-python? Any suggestions for getting around the problem? I like to keep systems updated to current revision where possible. Thanks!
