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 ]
Use: exclude=qt*
Put it in /etc/yum.conf to affect all repos, or in the section/file for a paricular repo if you just want to inhibit updates from that repo. The "exclude" option is documented in "man yum.conf".
P.S. It's "yum", not "YUM".
