Re: problems with yum --allow-downgrade

Hi Seth,
sorry, I should have mentioned that I also tried install, same result:

[root@hbtest2 lb5.x86_64]# yum --allow-downgrade install util-linux-2.13-lb5.01.x86_64.rpm
Loaded plugins: allowdowngrade, protectbase
Excluding Packages in global exclude list
Finished
90 packages excluded due to repository protections
Setting up Install Process
Parsing package install arguments
Examining util-linux-2.13-lb5.01.x86_64.rpm: util-linux-2.13-lb5.01.x86_64
util-linux-2.13-lb5.01.x86_64.rpm: does not update installed package.
Nothing to do

n.
