[mdlug] some packages not updating

[Dan Pritts]

here are my notes on this:

you will probably run into this, it is a side effect of some changes at rpmforge.

to fix do this. it will remove the (newer, from rpmforge) perl-IO-Compress and replace it with the original RHEL perl-Compress-Zlib which is generally fine anyway.

rpm -e --nodeps perl-IO-Compress
yum install perl-Compress-Zlib


You probably will then want to use yum-priorities or protectbase to make sure rpmforge doesn't replace perl-compress-zlib again.
