 Warren,

 Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, things are a bit insane here with 
a new product launch for Super Computing 07 in Reno, NV. I'm CC'ing the 
ydl-general list in case someone else is seeing the same odd issue that you 
are.

 I'm looking at your output again, and noticed that you are trying to upgrade 
and add yellowdog-logos-4.0-1.ydl.4. However, this isn't in any of our 
repositories for YDL 5, and is in fact from YDL 4. So, your yum configuration 
might be a bit off there, and it might be pointing to a YDL 4 repository. 
Please look in /etc/yum.repos.d/ and see if any of the files in that 
subdirectory is pointing to a YDL 4 repo somewhere.

 To get passed this there are two things you can do depending on your current 
situation.

 If you do the following command at shell:

 rpm -qa | grep yellowdog-logos

 and get the offending package (version 4.0-1.ydl.4) instead of the one that 
you should have in YDL 5, which is yellowdog-logos-1.1.42-1.ydl.2, then you 
need to remove that rpm, and can do it this way:

rpm -e --nodeps yellowdog-logos-4.0-1.ydl.4

 Otherwise, if all you get from the rpm -qa command is the correct version, 
then you can do this:

 yum upgrade --exclude=yellowdog-logos

 This should let the previous yum upgrade work, but keep in mind that it is a 
bit troubling that yum sees this YDL 4 versioned package in it's list of 
repositories. You should look at your yum config to see why this may be.

Cheers,

Chris
