   But why is perl-NetAddr-IP in your base repo?  Your FAQ says:

Well, I'm also not happy about it and I find it an issue. It is caused
 by historical reasons. RedHat included this package during the last 5.x
 release. Compare:
 http://vault.centos.org/5.6/os/i386/CentOS/
 http://merlin.fit.vutbr.cz/mirrors/centos/5.7/os/i386/CentOS/

You can always, as an temporary solution, exclude perl-NetAddr-IP from RepoForge .repo file

Just add:

exclude=perl-NetAddr-IP to appropriate repo, and yum will not bother you about this again.

Thank you for that.  Very helpful.

But I do hope Dag is out there somewhere too...

This should be fixed, if it is not, let me know.

We moved to a new location and I was without internet until last week. I have rebuild everything in the queue and fixed the remaining issues that related to removing packages. I still need to go over other issues, especially those blocked by me...
