Thanks for your reply Jon.
You pinpointed where my fault was : I use a patched version of
yum for which I've sets the Epoch to 1 (to prevent upgrade from
SL overwriting my version).
So the requirement "yum < 3.1.0-0" is no longer met (for me,
should be "yum < 1:3.1.0-0")
By the way I've got yum-utils-1.0.4-2.sl5.src.rpm, and one
difference I see in the spec file over the mysterious 1.0.4-3
is the lack of requirement for 3.1.0-0 ...
NB: my patch over yum adds a "synch" command which synchronise
a computer on one special group (useful to maintain large
group of computers).
You *may* be able to just turn your patch into a yum plugin in which case
it can be included in it's own rpm and not need to touch the standard
stuff.
There are examples of plugins which add new yum-commands though I've never
examines any of them in detail, most just add extra options/switches etc.
