CentOS - Dec 2007 - Dependency error for perl-Digest-Perl-MD5

I enabled rpmforge on a fresh install as per the centos wiki with priorities and
attempted to execute 'yum install perl-Digest-Perl-MD5' and received the
following:

[root at test ~]# yum install perl-Digest-Perl-MD5
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Loading "priorities" plugin
Setting up Install Process

241 packages excluded due to repository priority protections

--> Running transaction check
--> Processing Dependency: /usr/bin/false for package: perl-Digest-Perl-MD5
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Missing Dependency: /usr/bin/false is needed by package
perl-Digest-Perl-MD5

How do I resolve this?

Thanks!

Joe,

Sure the SPEC is broken since the dependency is on a
binary file from package coreutils, rather than
another  RPM.

However, you are using a Cadillac OS (Linux) which
includes a C-compiler and has as part of its core perl
the perl module Digest::MD5.

------------- snip Digest-Perl-MD5 disclaimer -------
DISCLAIMER
    This is not an interface (like "Digest::MD5") but
a Perl implementation
    of MD5. It is written in perl only and because of
this it is slow but it
    works without C-Code. You should use "Digest::MD5"
instead of this
    module if it is available. This module is only
usefull for

        computers where you cannot install
"Digest::MD5" (e.g. lack of a
        C-Compiler)

        encrypting only small amounts of data (less
than one million bytes).
        I use it to hash passwords.

        educational purposes
----------------- end snip -------------

I have good news for you. This is one time where its
OK to use CPAN!! We give you permission.

You really should bring this up on the rpmforge mailing list, so the
problem can be solved at the source of the problem.
