yum update problems

[sde]

i'm trying to update one of my servers and i get a conflict between kernel and e2fsprogs.

i have added e2fsprogs to the exclude path in yum.conf, but i still get the conflict.

# yum update

..conflict between kernel-smp and e2fsprogs

anyone have an idea how i can get this system to update?

[Admin]

have you tried e2fsprogs first? and then the kernel?

how about manually recompiling the kernel?

[sde]

yeah, it says it can not find any package matching e2fsprogs =/

and last time i tried to recompile a kernel, i massively fubared it.
