How do I remove packages from the skip list to install ?

I am trying to upgrade my php to php-4.4.2-3.rhel4.art but up2date says that "the packaged is skipped and not found."

I tried doing a -f but that failed as well. I did a lot of searching on this but the information for this task is hard to come by. Any answers would be appreciated.

I backed up my original php.ini. Is there anything else I need to be aware of when going from 4.3.9 to 4.4.2-3 ?

Here is the output from up2date

up2date --dry-run

see if you have php-mcrypt installed, and if so remove it before attempting an upgrade. A conflict can occur in an updater (yum, or up2date) when it tries to update a package, and a dependency doesnt exist.

Thanks for the reply Scott.

I went in to /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date and set use gpg to 0 and force update to 1 and did a up2date -u and it did it all this time.

Yes, I did install the gpg key as specified if you were wondering.

Got to hate spending hours on something like that. Everything works now, the upgrade fixed a lot of issues I was having.

Thanks,
Brad
