[SOLVED] Yum command with an Exculde option.

swamprat · 01-20-2014, 07:12 PM

I would like to use the YUM command to upgrade my CENTOS 5.X system. However I don’t want to apply any service/updates to PERAL because there is a problem with those packages.

Is there a YUM command to apply all the service with yum but exclude Pearl.

If so what would the command look like. I’ve searched Yum but can’t find anything that would work.

Thanks

add the exclude option to the /etc/yum.conf file

and is that supposed to be "perl" ??? you have two different spellings there and they are both wrong

Code:

exclude=perl*
