I tried to do a yum upgrade as part of trying to figure out why development libraries aren’t on my machine and i got the following error. I am running CentOS 4 from Steadfast Networks.

johan_hammy,
I’d remove the ‘addons’ and ‘extras’ repositories from your yum list. These are probably files located in /etc/yum.repos.d/. You can simply delete them and re-run YUM.
Chris
If I am already upset that CentOS doesn’t have enough packages available, would this be a wise move? I’m used to Gentoo where I can emerge just about anything.

would this be a wise move?
It would to keep iworx entact and working ok.
As for the yum upgrade, do a “yum clean all” first and then retry the upgrade.
Chris
I tried it a couple times, but this is what I get…
Note: I also have mentioned this on SteadFast’s forum. When it’s resolved I’ll note it in both places.
[root@ds00209 mhammett]# yum clean all

Can you do a “yum search spamassassin” and see who (what repository) is injecting the spamassassin RPM in there Johan.
Chris
It looks like spamassassin is in base and SpamAssassin is in interworx-cp-rhe4x.
[root@ds00209 mhammett]# yum search spamassassin

Mail::SpamAssassin -- SpamAssassin e-mail filter Perl modules
Mail::SpamAssassin is a module to identify spam using text analysis and
several internet-based realtime blacklists. Using its rule base, it uses a
wide range of heuristic tests on mail headers and body text to identify
``spam'', also known as unsolicited commercial email. Once identified, the
mail can then be optionally tagged as spam for later filtering using the
user's own mail user-agent application.

Matched from:
SpamAssassin
SpamAssassin provides you with a way to reduce, if not completely eliminate,
Unsolicited Bulk Email (or "spam") from your incoming email. It can be
invoked by a MDA such as sendmail or postfix, or can be called from a procmail
script, .forward file, etc. It uses a genetic-algorithm-evolved scoring system
to identify messages which look spammy, then adds headers to the message so
they can be filtered by the user's mail reading software. This distribution
includes the spamd/spamc components which considerably speeds processing of
mail.

which create a server that considerably speeds processing of mail.
To enable spamassassin, if you are receiving mail locally, simply add
this line to your ~/.procmailrc:
INCLUDERC=/etc/mail/spamassassin/spamassassin-default.rc
To filter spam for all users, add that line to /etc/procmailrc
(creating if necessary).

grr, it looks like CentOS has decided to add spamassassin to their package list. For now you can edit your yum.conf and add an exclude for “spamassassin” (note all lowercase). Longer term we’ll be renaming our SpamAssassin package to use the more “normal” lowercase format.
