Doing "yum list xorg-x11-tools xorg-x11-devel xorg-x11-libs xorg-x11-xfs
xorg-x11" gives:
 Installed Packages
 xorg-x11-devel.i386                      6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.2      installed
 xorg-x11-libs.i386                       6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.2      installed
 Available Packages
 xorg-x11.i386                            6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2     update
 xorg-x11-devel.i386                      6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2     update
 xorg-x11-libs.i386                       6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2     update
 xorg-x11-tools.i386                      6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2     update
 xorg-x11-xfs.i386                        6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2     update

I don't know why xorg-x11-libs is listed in the update repository (which
is rhel4-updates.repo, URL http://yum.remsys.net/redhat/el4/updates/i386/)
as well as installed. Note that the 13.37.2 file is from 13-Sep-2006,
while the 33.0.2 is from 19-Jan-2008, so the installed version is indeed
newer than the one that yum is saying I need.

Doing "rpm -q xorg-x11-tools xorg-x11-devel xorg-x11-libs xorg-x11-xfs
xorg-x11" gives:
 package xorg-x11-tools is not installed
 xorg-x11-devel-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.2
 xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.2
 package xorg-x11-xfs is not installed
 package xorg-x11 is not installed

Note that when I try "yum install xorg-x11" and "yum install
xorg-x11-xfs", I get the same errors as with xorg-x11-tools:
 Error: Missing Dependency: xorg-x11-libs = 6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2 is needed
by package xorg-x11
 Error: Missing Dependency: xorg-x11-libs = 6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2 is needed
by package xorg-x11-xfs

Doing "yum install xorg-x11-tools --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=base
--enablerepo=update" gives the same result as "yum install
xorg-x11-tools".

I would try uninstalling and reinstalling, but "yum remove xorg-x11-libs"
would remove 22 other packages that I need, so that's not an option.

So the question remains, why does it say I need xorg-x11-libs
6.8.2-1.EL.13.37.2 when I have xorg-x11-libs 6.8.2-1.EL.33.0.2 installed?
Thank you.
