       Hello,

       what I do which work for me is :


       yum clean all
       yum -y update
       yum -y shell ~/yum-5x
       yum -y update yum
       yum clean all
       yum -y upgrade
       
       
       ~/yum-5x contains :
       
       erase yum-conf
       install yum-conf-5x
       run
       exit
       
       Hope this help.
