We check to see that the extra lines within the priorities.conf file have been removed:

Again, everything played out as expected.

Complete!

Check the contents of the prioirities.conf file:

# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf 
[main]
enabled = 1

We note that there is a problem is the priorities.conf file, in that the check_obsoletes flag has been removed. This should not have happened. To work around it site administrators will need to be cautious not to upgrade the file but rather to uninstall the old version and then install the latest one available from repository.egi.eu!
