Yesterday I ran a rather complicated yum install,
for which I had to enablerepo=development ,
and today when I run "yum update" I get the error
==========================================
[tim@william 2004]$ sudo yum update

==========================================
What is the solution?
(And what is the problem?)
[Briefly, how I got into this position:
system-config-printer did not appear to be working,
so I removed it with "rpm -e"
and then tried to re-install it with yum install.
This turned out to require me to enablerepo development,
as at some time in the past - quite a long time ago -
I inadvertently updated with the development repository enabled.]
Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.
Ps I find yum a marvellous resource -
but when it doesn't work,
I find the python error messages difficult to interpret.
