With apt-get I could put 3lines in the /etc/apt/preferences file, and keep a given package (or group of packages) from being updated. I dont see that capability with YUM. Is it there and Im just missing it??? [ The problem is with an update of qt that is causing problems, I need to revert to a previous version till the current one (or the program using it) is fixed ] -- Reg.Clemens reg@xxxxxxx
