I have awstats installed by accident (yum -y update) from another repo. How can i uninstall it and install awstats from virtualmin repos?

When i do yum remove awstats, it looks like it is gonna remove some important stuff related to virtualmin too. so i stopped; but i dont have awstats on the server now.

Yeah, you need to be careful with any third party repositories, they can cause trouble :-)

What I would suggest is removing awstats not using yum, but with "rpm -e --nodeps PACKAGE_NAME" (where "PACKAGE_NAME is the awstats package name).

Then, disable the third party repository, and finally use yum to reinstall awstats from the CentOS repo.
