Super, thanks for the tip. Turned out the 'enabled' parameter was 1. Changed it to 0 and all is well. Now 0 packages are excluded due to priorities.

Now 0 packages are excluded due to priorities. You clearly did not understand what the priorities plug-in is and what it is used for. By excluding a repository, 0 packages are excluded by the priorities plug-in, but at the same time all the others that were available in that repository will no longer be available anymore, so in fact you have *less* packages than you did before.

It seems to work with Python2.3 (Python2.3 comes as default with CentOS). I have installed Python 2.4.6 and need the same to work with that. Any tips? If you're installing Python 2.4 on CentOS 4, it means you still did not grasp the concepts of an Enterprise Linux distribution. Please see: http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=17299forum=38#forumpost62162 http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/General#head-472ce8446ebcfc82ca1800f775ba0e629ac835c7 http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html You will probably not get any support from this list for your Python 2.4 install on CentOS 4, since that is clearly not part of CentOS itself. Luckily for you, if you really need Python 2.4, you can move to CentOS 5, it will be present there. If you want to stick to the bleeding edge, you'd better look into distros such as Fedora and Ubuntu.
