CentOS - Feb 2005 - some things missing from addons directory

i was just trying to update a rh9 box to centos 3.4 and ran into a number 
of issues that i finally realized would be solved by pointing to the 
addons area.  but there are still some things that crop up.  one of them 
is doxygen-doxywizard.  there is a new version of doxygen in the 3.4 base, 
but the addons has an older version, so the yum upgrade gets confused.  i 
don't see php-manual in the addons directory at all, so that is probably 
not the same issue.  with yum is there a way we could have a list of old 
packages like php-manual that just don't exist anymore and have it 
uninstall it? for now, i am just tracking down things and removing 
packages that can't be upgraded.  having it all happen automatically would 
be nice :-).
