hi Matthew! thanks for your report! we need to pull that problematic RPM from the repository. for the time being, however, you don't need to rebuild the RPMs to work around this problem; just place the following line in /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo under the [rpmforge] stanza: exclude = perl-DateTime-0.4305* -steve -- If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction. - Fabian, Twelfth Night, III,v PGP 8477B706 (A92A 1F7E 6D76 16A0 BFF9 E61D AD54 0251 8477 B706)
