If i understand this correctly, then there's only one perl module called 'DBD-mysql', distributed at http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-mysql/ and it's called perl-DBD-MySQL in rhel/centos and it's called perl-DBD-mysql in rpmforge.. I've added the following: Obsoletes: perl-DBD-MySQL <= %{version}-%{release} Provides: perl-DBD-MySQL = %{version}-%{release} I hope this fixes the problem. kind regards, Dries _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rpmforge.net/mailman/listinfo/users
