Not in this situation, as you didn't tell everything last time ;-)

You got the same messages when you installed MailScanner. You should have 
woken up *then* ;-)

Correct. But there is no such file in CentOS. You installed the complete 
MailScanner package which installs lots of "not so good" perl packages 
which either are not necessary (including this one) or can be fetched from 
rpmforge. Remove that BigInt package and all shoulkd be well. And do not 
install the complete MailScanner package when you do your next upgrade, 
install only the mailscanner*.rpm.
