yum upgrade is depreciated. From CentOS own documentation:Charles Jones wrote:In case anyone didn't know, and cares, CentOS 5.3 came out today *looks at clock* I mean yesterday. If you are running 5.2 the upgrade is as simple as "yum update".Actually, I think that should be: # yum upgrade
"If you are already running CentOS-5.2 or an older CentOS-5 distro, all you need to do is update your machine via yum by running : 'yum update'"
