[Yum-devel] Excludes in *.repo -- is it just me?

[Mary Ellen Foster]

I'm using yum-3.0.4-1.fc6 on FC6. I've been having the problem that
"exclude" lines in *.repo files don't seem to have any effect on what
gets chosen for an update. If I enable debugging, I can see that the
package gets excluded, but then later on that update gets proposed
anyway.

If I put the "exclude" into yum.conf it works, but that's not what I
want to do: I just don't want a few specific packages from jpackage to
overwrite the ones from FC, but I still want to get FC updates for
those packages.

I posted a backtrace in this bug:
    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208520#c3

Is it just me that's having this problem?

Thanks,

MEF
