Oh, dear. this _is_ a long-term problem for supporting older operating systems: I'm going through nightmares right now trying to backport subversion 1.6.x to RHEL 4, due to this sort of fun. You can also put 'exclude=perl-DBI < 1.57' in your /etc/yum.conf, which I believe will override your 'master' setting and achieve the same effect. without editing those .repo files individually. _______________________________________________ suggest mailing list suggest@lists.rpmforge.net http://lists.rpmforge.net/mailman/listinfo/suggest
