Hi, I am on CentOS using Plesk as an administration area and am running into constant errors trying to update any perl packages because of an accidental install of a perl package from a third-party. When I tried yum remove perl it listed every perl package on my system to remove which is what I do not want. I only want to remove one called perl-5.8.5-9rhel3.art Below says "success" but those perl packages are not updated. How can I just remove this one package, perl-5.8.5-9rhel3.art, so the other conflict errors will go away and not break the whole system? These are the errors: [root@godslove root]# yum list updates Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-3 - Addons Server: CentOS-3 - Base Server: CentOS-3 - Extras Server: CentOS-3 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Name Arch Version Repo ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- perl-CGI i386 2:2.81-89.10 update perl-DB_File i386 2:1.804-89.10 update [root@godslove root]# yum update perl Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-3 - Addons Server: CentOS-3 - Base Server: CentOS-3 - Extras Server: CentOS-3 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers perl is installed and the latest version.
