Ok well I got the repo added

but when I run sudo yum install basex
I get
Error: Package: basex-7.3-3.2.noarch (home_basex_opensuse)

Installed: xml-commons-resolver-1.1-4.18.el6.x86_64

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles –nodigest

in order to install basex, it is required to have xml-commons-resolver-1.2, while in your system the installer found xml-commons-resolver-1.1.4.18.

I am sorry to inform you that RHEL-6 has not included xml-commons-resolver-1.2 in its repositories yet. The same for CentOS-6. Probably because of RHEL and CentOS strict package policy.

I can think three installation alternatives:

1. If you insist to install basex with yum, probably you need to install xml-commons-resolver-1.2 directly from its rpm package (available for Fedora), however it will be in conflict with already install xml-commons-resolver-1.1.4 which might also be required by other installed packages. If you only use your machine for exploration only, you can uninstall xml-commons-resolver-1.1.4 and install xml-commons-resolver-1.2, and after that you can install basex with yum :)

2. you can download *.rpm by following baseurl which is stated in basex.repo (http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/basex:/opensuse/RedHat_RHEL-6/noarch/)

after that you can install with rpm command with additional --nodeps to ignore required dependencies (xml-commons-resolver-1.2)

# rpm -ivh --nodeps basex-7.3.3-2.noarch.rpm

3. you can always use basex zip release :)

sorry for not much helping.

I tried running yum downgrade got
Only Upgrade available on package: xml-commons-resolver-1.1-4.18.el6.x86_64

I tried to yum --showduplicates list xml-commons-resolver
And got
Installed Packages
xml-commons-resolver.x86_64 1.1-4.18.el6 @rhel-x86_64-server-6-test
Available Packages
xml-commons-resolver.x86_64 1.1-4.18.el6 rhel-x86_64-server-6-test

while running sudo yum list available xml-*
gives

rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6-test

Obviously I'm not especially familiar with redhat so I'm not sure what
I'm doing wrong here, I guess I need to add another repo in or
something?

I tried running yum install yum-allowdowngrade also, but it says it
doesn't have a yum-allowdowngrade anywhere

Thanks,
Bryan Rasmussen
