See yum-versionlock.conf(5) for more information. /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list The default place to put package version lock information (one package and version per. line). The file takes entries in the follow- ing format EPOCH:NAME-VERSION-RELEASE.ARCH See rpm(8) for more information on custom query formats.
