Using --replacewith

Hello Alan,

Unfortunately I am not that familiar with the yum-replace module,
if you absolutely wish to use this method we will need to wait till BJ
can have a look.

What I would suggest is verify the package did in fact install, and the files are in place:

    rpm -q yum-plugin-replace

and check the file listing for this package

    rpm -q yum-plugin-replace -l

then check the files are in the yum plugins path (this file should be listed above):

    ls -l /usr/lib/yum-plugins/replace.py*

Can you provide the output of the following commands:

# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/replace.conf

# yum --help

I've tested and verified that yum-plugin-replace does work just fine on a CentOS 5.7 box.

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

# yum --help
usage: yum [options] COMMAND
