       By  the way I remember there is a yum-conf-5x to stay with the
       latest  release (I used it for 4x) but I don't remeber how  to
       install it.

       I tried with yum and rpm without success :

       #### jones:{root}:/etc > yum install yum-conf-5x
       ...
       
       Transaction Check Error:
        file /etc/yum.conf from install of yum-conf-5x-1-8.SL.noarch conflicts with file from package yum-conf-54-1.SL.noarch
       
       
       #### jones:{root}:/etc > rpm -Uvh  /var/cache/yum/sl-base/packages/yum-conf-5x-1-8.SL.noarch.rpm
       ...
        file /etc/yum.conf from install of yum-conf-5x-1-8.SL.noarch conflicts with file from package yum-conf-54-1.SL.noarch
       
       
       Shall I remove yum-conf first ?

       Thanks for your help.
