Freetype Custombuild & Yum

Hello,

Custombuild ./build versions says:

Yum yum check-update says:

Should i exclude (freetype*) in yum.conf?

Thanks

Because we don't know if both are installing Freetype in the same way we don't know with certainty which version is being used in your system (hopefully not both). I'd probably remove the one installed by yum, and exclude it, unless uninstalling it will cause dependency issues (in which case I'd just exclude it) and use the one installed by custombuild. It should work. But of course I have the expertise to fix it if it causes problems.

The version number discrepancy doesn't mean that the one installed by yum isn't secure; RPM-based distributions generally do backports; the -28 means this is the 28th backported update since version 2.2.1 was released.

yum remove freetype

Transaction Summary:
Remove 18 Package(s)

I don't think it harms the system to update both (YUM & custombuild) i don't want one of them without updates. Ill do some more research first before removing/excluding.

should remove freetype without uninstall deps.

Regards

rpm -e --nodeps freetype

then.
