As to the reason for the above error... it looks like you have the protect or priority plugins stopping rpmforge-extras packages from updating base components? Try: yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=rpmforge-extras update perl-IO-Compress which should remove the following if installed: perl-Compress-Zlib perl-IO-Compress-Base perl-IO-Compress-Bzip2 perl-IO-Compress-Zlib and install/update the following: perl-IO-Compress perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2 perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib HTHs _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
