This is because yum provides that feature now. See man yum.conf and protected_packages. Cool. Then I don't see why the package has not been removed. I got there because I was trying to find a way to protect python-kerberos version 1.1-6.2.el6 from the EPEL package version 1.1-7.1.el6. I've tried to use yum-plugin-protectbase but did not find the magic incantation to make it protect the rhn repos. Hope you can set me straight. Thank you. I've not been able to get protected_packages to work either! It is removed, the newer versions of yum-utils shouldn't have it ... however the older versions will stay around (so you can use it with the older versions of yum). But that's not what protect_packages does ... it just stops things being removed. You want versionlock or excludes ... or priorities. |
