You seem to have the rpmforge repository installed, because the package
in the base repositories is called perl-DBD-MySQL (note the mixed case
MySQL).

and got replaced because the default install of yum-priorities doesn't check_obsoletes. base package perl-DBD-MySQL was indeed obsoleted by the rpmforge perl-DBD-mysql a few weeks ago. I fear a lot of people got caught by this without guard. I wonder why rpmforge did this.

Yes, I did place rpmforge, mirrors.rpmforge, rhel-mondo, and rpmforge in the repos. I had not installed the protect base or the priorities at the time of the intitial update. Just now, I ran update with the other repos disabled and got about 5 libraries updated. Now, what is the fix to update the rest of the things that amount to about 30 or so packages? I will get the priorities and protect base before running any further updates.
