Gerald,

thank you again

in meanwhile, I've tried specifying repo as in 'yum --enablerepo..',
perhaps I din't do it correctly as got errors, BUT, following your
advise/link, disabling r-p-p, now I see:

# yum install  dovecot dovecot-devel dovecot-mysql dovecot-pigeonhole

thanks again!
(I should've read the install screen properly in the first place, and,
should've noticed I was installing NOT from dovecot...)


just thinking... now that I installed OK, should I revert the priority
protection to '1', if I don't, will it bite me elsewhere, any thought ?
