This is probably trivial issue to you

trying to isntall an app called "duplicity" from a rpm or via yum and it returns:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

I certainly dont want to downgrade my python. So my only option is to try --skip-broken?

any particular reason you are installing duplicity from el5, but use python from el6?

"duplicity" for CentOS6 / EL6 is in the ```opsi40 CentOS_CentOS-6´´´ repo :

http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...ntOS_CentOS-6/

Code:

[home_uibmz_opsi_opsi40]
name=opsi 4.0 (CentOS_CentOS-6)
type=rpm-md
baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/uibmz:/opsi:/opsi40/CentOS_CentOS-6/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/uibmz:/opsi:/opsi40/CentOS_CentOS-6/repodata/repomd.xml.key
enabled=1

→ → # yum install duplicity
