After solving my problem by downgrading perl-NetAddr-IP to the CentOS
repo's version, yum is of course telling me perl-NetAddr-IP is out of date
and needs to be updated (back to the buggy one in RepoForge).
So looks like yum-priorities is in order (ha! the pun!), but I have a question
>> Hmm, OK, prioritze CentOS repo over RepoForge then will yum update

If I already have a bunch of packages from RepoForge, some of which
might also be in the CentOS repo (some presumably with lower version
numbers), what happens after installing and configuring yum-priorities?
Do those packages automatically get downgraded? Does yum complain
and tell me I should downgrade? I assume upgrades would happen per
usual if there are newer versions of packages in CentOS repo.
I'm slightly concerned because I have a handful of packages that got
installed automatically from RepoForge when I installed amavisd-new
from there, and I'd hate to break something.
Thanks for any preemptive advice!!!!
