It was suggested that there may be a conflict due to mixing of packages between CentOS and other (rpmforge?) repos, so maybe.... it'd sure be nice if CentOS had more up to date software and there was no need to resort to using other repos (rpmforge doesn't have such up to date packages either in some cases I've noted). > Do you actually need perl-IO-Socket-INET6?

Would I lose my current configuration in the process?.... it's a bit elaborate. IIRC, I'd have to temporarily disable CentOS repo to get the rpmforge one? Your opinion is that there's no fixing it without dumping my current SA package? > For reference, here are the perl packages I have installed on my system > running > SA/Amavisd-new/Clam (.el5 = distro, .rf = rpmforge, .rfx = rpmforge-extras) > > > # rpm -q spamassassin amavisd-new clamav > spamassassin-3.3.2-2.el5.rfx.x86_64 > amavisd-new-2.6.6-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > clamav-0.97.3-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > > > # rpm -qa perl* | sort > perl-5.8.8-32.el5_7.6.x86_64 > perl-Archive-Tar-1.39.1-1.el5_5.2.noarch > perl-Archive-Zip-1.16-1.2.1.noarch > perl-Authen-SASL-2.15-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-BerkeleyDB-0.43-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > perl-Bit-Vector-6.4-2.2.2.1.x86_64 > perl-Carp-Clan-5.3-1.2.1.noarch > perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2.037-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.037-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > perl-Convert-ASN1-0.20-1.1.noarch > perl-Convert-BinHex-1.119-2.2.el5.rf.noarch > perl-Convert-TNEF-0.17-3.2.el5.rf.noarch > perl-Convert-UUlib-1.34-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-Random-0.04-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA-0.26-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > perl-Date-Calc-5.4-1.2.2.1.x86_64 > perl-DBI-1.52-2.el5.x86_64 > perl-Digest-HMAC-1.01-15.noarch > perl-Digest-SHA1-2.11-1.2.1.x86_64 > perl-Digest-SHA-5.50-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > perl-Email-Date-Format-1.002-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-Encode-Detect-1.01-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > perl-Error-0.17016-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-Geography-Countries-2009041301-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-Git-1.7.6.4-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > perl-HTML-Parser-3.59-1.el5.x86_64 > perl-HTML-Tagset-3.10-2.1.1.noarch > perl-IO-Compress-2.037-1.el5.rfx.noarch > perl-IO-Multiplex-1.10-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.01-1.fc6.noarch > perl-IO-stringy-2.110-1.2.el5.rf.noarch > perl-IO-Zlib-1.04-4.2.1.noarch > perl-IP-Country-2.27-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-libwww-perl-5.805-1.1.1.noarch > perl-Mail-DKIM-0.39-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-Mail-SPF-2.006-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-MailTools-2.08-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-MIME-Lite-3.027-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-MIME-tools-5.420-2.el5.rf.noarch > perl-NetAddr-IP-4.044-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > perl-Net-DNS-0.59-3.el5.x86_64 > perl-Net-Ident-1.23-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-Net-IP-1.25-2.fc6.noarch > perl-Net-Server-0.99-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-Net-SMTP-SSL-1.01-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-Net-SSLeay-1.30-4.fc6.x86_64 > perl-Parse-Syslog-1.10-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-Pod-Escapes-1.04-1.2.el5.rf.noarch > perl-Pod-Simple-3.16-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-Razor-Agent-2.84-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > perl-SGMLSpm-1.03ii-16.2.1.noarch > perl-Socket6-0.19-3.fc6.x86_64 > perl-String-CRC32-1.4-2.fc6.x86_64 > perl-Test-Pod-1.45-1.el5.rf.noarch > perl-TimeDate-1.16-5.el5.noarch > perl-Unix-Syslog-1.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64 > perl-URI-1.35-3.noarch > perl-version-0.91-1.el5.rf.x86_64 >
