However, if I get "yum update" later, I get lcg-infosites 2.6.8-2. Shouldn't I get the most up to date version from the beginning? Is this the expected behaviour? Your example is somewhat oversimplified. There are a few dozen things which come into play when you're looking at this. If they are different architecture packages, and one has exactarch enabled, a newer package may be ignored if it doesn't match. The packages could have an epoch value set which makes the older one newer (nasty RPM trick). Certain yum plugins could be affecting the results also, such as priorities or protectbase. Your best bet is to run your yum command with debugging output so that we (and you) can see exactly what is going on. Add '-d6' to your yum command to get all the debugging output you'll likely ever need. I'd also recommend doing a 'yum clean metadata' or 'yum clean all' prior to testing, so that you're sure you're getting fresh results. -- During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.
