What does that mean: packages excluded due to repository priority protections
Solution 1:
From what I understand, this error is generated from the priorities
plugin as noted by Pawel.
In 2009, the maintainer of yum mentioned that he hoped people would not use priorities
. To disable the priorities plugin, edit /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf
and set enabled = 0
. After this change, next time you run yum update
, you should not get any priority protections.
Solution 2:
Some packages are held by more than one repository. The priorities
plugin choose packages from the highest-priority repository, excluding duplicate entries from other repos.
Solution 3:
In case you want to know which packages are excluded due to priority protections you can use
yum list updates -d3
