httpd-suexec.i386                        2.0.52-38.ent.centos4. installed

Well, this is different ... but then I'm new 

What versions of rpm and httpd are installed?

yum list httpd rpm

On my fully updated test bed:

httpd.i386                           2.0.52-41.ent.centos4
rpm.i386                              4.3.3-26_nonptl

Also, since you have some stuff installed from smedev, try:

yum --enablerepo=smedev update

I don't think that'll help, but still...

I'm curious -- where did rpmbuild come from? It's not in smedev.

[stephen noble]

Well, this is different ... but then I'm new 
yum --enablerepo=smedev update
I don't think that'll help, but still...

only install from smedev explicitly
yum --enablerepo=smedev update smesever-foo

otherwise you update all existing rpms
almost certainly bad things will happen

[David Harper]

Well that's important to know -- thanks!
