How to remove kdebindings from updates available

[martyfelker]

I haven't been able to install updated package kdebindings from updates available or even yum -t install kdebindings.

What to do. It annoys me to have to close the update windows every time I boot.

try

su
gedit /etc/yum.conf

and add this line

exclude=kdebindings


or

su
yum update --exclude=kdebindings

P.S

have you tried

su 
yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update kdebindings

Please post the output from the yum -t install kdebindings command - that should provide some clues as to why you're having a problem.

If you just want to prevent the update window being displayed you can edit the yum config files. Try:

man yum.conf

for details.

Same thing. I see if I can edit the yum config files.

Heck I don't even see a yum.config file in /etc/yum.

Is there a default file I can get?

NEVER had any problems with updating a package either from updates available (which I assume is just like yumex) or from the command line yum install anypkg.

Why is this even in the repos?

[abensonox]

The file you need to edit is /etc/yum.conf

Thanks for telling me where to find it.

Here's mine.

[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800

I found a file I seem to have made with more information I called kdebinds.debug (I think some kind soul told me how to generate this).

I haven't the foggiest idea how to proceed. Maybe it should be entered in "Fedora Annoyances"
