*sigh* do you read these mails in the thread you just replied to?

Again, here's a couple of pointers which might give you a better clue:

That's documented here:

SL 6.x:
<http://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/howto/upgrade.6x>

SL 5.x:
<http://www.scientificlinux.org/documentation/howto/upgrade.5x>

Unless you have installed the yum-conf-sl6x package (on SL6.x), you
won't upgrade the minor version of the distro automatically.  So in that
case, you need to do it explicit as described above.


kind regards,
