I think this is the cause of the problem.
--------------------------------------------------
ncftp .../core/updates/5/x86_64 > ls nfs*
nfs-utils-1.0.8-2.fc5.x86_64.rpm
nfs-utils-1.0.8.rc2-5.FC5.x86_64.rpm
nfs-utils-lib-1.0.8-4.FC5.x86_64.rpm
nfs-utils-lib-devel-1.0.8-4.FC5.x86_64.rpm
-------------------------------------------------
The updates repo for FC5/x86_64 has an updated nfs-utils-lib package but
not the matching (by naame) nfs-utils package. The dates show the
nfs-utils-1.0.8-2 is newer than the the rc2 package, but it still will
not update with yum.
I would class this a distribution bug, and until this is fixed the only
way I have been able to do an update is to exclude both nfs-utils\* and
libgssapi.
After looking at this and what was happening I fixed it by doing a bit
of work with rpm.
1. downloaded the latest nfs-utils, nfs-utils-lib and libgssapi
packages.
2. did an rpm -F with all the 3 packages above in a single
transaction. (The -F should have had rpm erase the old package, but see
step 3)
3. did a yum search with the following results:
[root@raptor ~]# yum search nfs-utils libgssapi | grep installed
libgssapi.x86_64 0.9-1.FC5 installed
libgssapi.x86_64 0.7-2.1 installed
nfs-utils.x86_64 1:1.0.8-2.fc5 installed
nfs-utils-lib.x86_64 1.0.8-3.1 installed
nfs-utils-lib.x86_64 1.0.8-4.FC5 installed
This shows that nfs-utils-lib and libgssapi both have multiple versions
installed.
4. I now had to identify which package names to use for cleanup, so I
did this:
[root@raptor ~]# rpm -qa nfs-utils-lib
nfs-utils-lib-1.0.8-3.1
nfs-utils-lib-1.0.8-4.FC5
[root@raptor ~]# rpm -qa libgssapi
libgssapi-0.9-1.FC5
libgssapi-0.7-2.1
5. I then removed the old packages.
[root@raptor ~]# rpm -e nfs-utils-lib-1.0.8-3.1
[root@raptor ~]# rpm -e libgssapi-0.7-2.1
6. To test that the yum problem was now fixed I did another yum update
and it came back with the message that there was nothing to do.
Success in the update, and a workaround that can be used, but this is a
packaging bug that needs to be fixed so the yum updates work properly.
