[erlang-questions] Erlang 18.3 CentOS RPM/yum failing

[Ryan Stewart]

The erlang package is a metapackage that pulls in a bunch of erlang-*
packages. It looks like new erlang 19 packages have obsoleted some of those
erlang 18.3 packages, so yum is trying to get the newer packages to replace
the obsoleted one without realizing that all of these packages ought to be
kept at the same version. Try "yum install erlang-18.3
--setopt=obsoletes=0", and see what you get.
