If you added the ATrpms repository after reading the various postings
on this list about Axel's packages I would suggest that you go to
Axel's site and post this as a bug for him to fix.
On the other if you unwittingly added his site and you want minimal
dependency conflicts with other repositories:
a) disable the ATrpms repository for apt, up2date and yum;
b) install smart (Smart Package Manager, http://smartpm.org); and
c) use smart to downgrade/remove the .at packaged versions of yum,
up2date and rpm.
You may want to remove other .at packages but that is where I suggest
you start.
Oh, by the way, Axel fixed it so that you don't really need RHN
monitor. Axel bundled his own little program, atrpms, as a dependecy
for many of his packages. Run "rpm -q atrpms" and see if it's
installed. atrpms runs a cron job using yum to check for updates.
Removing atrpms is quite a dependency exercise (hint: get smart).
