My rule for the past few years when dealing with the "catch-all" 3rd party repositories like RPMForge, ATRPMs, EPEL, and a few others is that you should always make use of the "includepkgs=" line and only let through the absolute minimum number of RPMs needed to get up and running. For instance, my [rpmforge] entry in /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo has the following: includepkgs=amavisd-new spamassass* clam* perl* lha zoo ripole unrar cabextract altermime freeze arc unarj p7zip nomarch All of the other [rpmforge-*] sections have: includepkgs=zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz This has kept the breakage from doing a "yum update" to a minimum.
