Just did an update with yum, and got this error when running the

Transaction Check Error: package freetype-2.1.9-1.2.2.el4.rf (which is
newer than freetype-2.1.9-1.rhel4.4) is already installed
Yum then quit. What do I need to do to fix this error? This is a first
for me. x86-64 machine.
It would appear that you've updated freetype from the rpmforge repository,
and that repository is now disabled. You can either:
- Ignore freetype updates from the CentOS repositories and continue to get
updates from rpmforge.
- Uninstall the rpmforge rpm and reinstall the CentOS version, and exclude
freetype from any future updates from rpmforge
Looking into the protectbase or priorities plugins to yum may help you
eliminate any future instances of this issue.
FWIW, I leave the rpmforge repo enabled, but I use a specific list of
includepkgs so that only certain things that I know I need come from there.

I odn't have the rpmforge repo set up. Only dag and the defaults.
Don't really know where the freetype came from unless it was the dag.
Can I remove the freetype package that was downloaded then continue with
the yum update, or how do I get rid of the thing ?
