My proven (it works for me on C5) solution in instances of dependency
conflicts between rpmforge and epel which prevent updates *AND*
rpmforge being the only source for applications you wish to retain:-
(1) yum remove ....... (application preventing the update)
Yum may delete addition applications you wish to retain.
(2) disable Dag/rpmforge repo
(3) enable EPEL repo
(4) yum install ....... (application removed in (1))
(5) Disable EPEL repo
(6) Enable RPMFORGE repo
(7) yum install ......... (deleted packages from rpmforge you want to
retain)
Subsequently I have not experienced problems.
