Just to wrap up this thread, there was a bug in qtp-newmodel which is
now fixed. Upgrade your qmailtoaster-plus package, and things should
work fine. You do not necessarily need to have the yum priorities
plugin, since qtp-newmodel installs the rpmforge repo in a disabled
state, and only uses it for perl dependencies.

I am in the same boat... what did you change using yum priorities? Where
and how did you apply the patch? Thanks.

Did yum update -y and qmailtoaster-plus updated. Then when trying
to run qtp-newmodel through qtp-menu, all current toaster packages
download for install. However, when qtp-newmodel tries to update
perl modules, I get a Transaction Check Error that states a man
file conflict between perl-Getopt-Long and a file with
perl-5.8.8-15.el5_2.1. Below is the perl install section of qtp-
newmodel. Running on CentOS 5.2 (yum updated to all current
packages). I tried to search the archives but had no success
finding any similar problem. Maybe I am not searching correctly or
you might have a new suggestion as what I should do to get updated?
ok, there are two problems in play here:
1) you have not configured yum to prevent third-party repositories
from clobbering system packages. to do this, follow the instructions
here:
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities
however, just doing this will not be sufficient to help you...
2) qtp-newmodel uses RPM package names (following the rpmforge naming
convention) to model Perl dependencies; a better way is to use RPM's
own Perl-specific dependency format, e.g. 'perl(LWP::UserAgent)'
instead of 'perl-LWP-UserAgent'. this enables yum to be more flexible
about dependency solving and not try to install a third-party package
which will conflict with an existing core package.
attached is a patch to qtp-newmodel which makes the appropriate
changes; i just did a cursory test on my own system, and it seems to
work OK. Jake, please consider merging it for a future release? FYI,
if QmailToaster needs specific versions of Perl modules, RPM's Perl
dependency syntax supports that as well, e.g. 'perl(LWP::UserAgent) =
5.805' instead of 'perl(LWP::UserAgent)'.
so, to sum up:
Thomas, please configure the priorities plugin to protect your core
packages from being clobbered.
Jake, please modify qtp-newmodel so that it doesn't needlessly try to
clobber core packages. :)
