Hi Chris,
Please send the whole error. If it is too long, just send it to me.
versionfix shouldn't have anything to do with this because it take a set list
of rpm package names, and replaces them with another set list of package names.
ndiswrapper wasn't on the list in any form.
Also, with the numbering, 1.41-<anything> is always considered newer than
1.5-<anything> unless there was an epoch involved.
Anyway, send me your full yum output, including the yum command and I'll look
at it.

Hi Troy,
Oops, I think I messed up the version numbers for ndiswrapper. However
my problem remains.
My problem is related to the %{dist} tag in the rpm name (ie.
yum-versionfix).
For SL43:
> 43/i386/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.5-0.SL.1.i686.rpm
For SL46:
46/i386/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm
Note the ".SL.1.i686.rpm" ending was changed to ".SL.i686.rpm". This is
probably stopping my yum updates. I can "yum update"
ndiswrapper-1.5-0.SL.1.i686.rpm to ndiswrapper-1.5-0.SL.3.i686.rpm, but
not ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm

I noticed the yum repositories for i385 Scienttific Linux 4.5, 4.6 & 4.7
contains ndiswrapper version 1.41-1. While yum repositories for SL 4.3 &
4.4 has ndispwrapper version 1.50-1. kernel-module-ndiswrapper packages
are also affected. Not sure if this was a deliberate choice.
Thanks,
Hi Chris,
I'm not quite sure where you are looking. In the regular distributions
we have
43/i386/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.5-0.SL.1.i686.rpm
44/i386/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.5-0.SL.3.i686.rpm
45/i386/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.5-0.SL.3.i686.rpm
46/i386/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm
47/i386/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm
In the errata area's we have
40/i386/errata/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm
41/i386/errata/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm
42/i386/errata/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm
43/i386/errata/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm
44/i386/errata/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm
45/i386/errata/SL/RPMS/ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm
For SL5 we have higher versions
50/i386/SL/ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm
51/i386/SL/ndiswrapper-1.41-1.SL.i686.rpm
52/i386/SL/ndiswrapper-1.53-1.SL.i686.rpm
and for errata we have
50/i386/updates/security/ndiswrapper-1.53-1.SL.i686.rpm
51/i386/updates/security/ndiswrapper-1.53-1.SL.i686.rpm
I don't see any 1.50-1 version, either for SL4 or SL5. So, I'm not
quite sure what you are seeing.
