CentOS - Jul 2006 - yum fails on resolving dependencies

hello,

i am getting this error when i am trying to update my
system.

 yum update
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: CentOS-3 - Addons
Server: CentOS-3 - Base
Server: Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux
Server: CentOS-3 - Extras
Server: CentOS-3 - Updates
Finding updated packages
Downloading needed headers
Resolving dependencies
....Unable to satisfy dependencies
Package perl-Authen-SASL needs perl(GSSAPI), this is
not available.

i am running CentOS release 3.6 (Final) 

i did a little googling and was even more confused
about this. what packages should i have to make the
update work?

thanks

This would seem to indicate that you're attempting to upgrade
perl-Authen-SASL and cannot because a require dependency is not found.
You need to figure out which repository that package is coming from.
It may be that the repository providing that package is not providing
the dependency.

  I think it's a dependency bug in the RPMforge repo (Dag) and it's
there
  for months. I posted the RPMforge list about it two weeks ago. No
  reactions.

  I've added a "exclude=perl-Net-LDAP perl-Authen-SASL" line to
yum.conf

  Cheers,
