Hello, Tried yum update all yesterday and today and seems there is a perl dependency missing. Does anyone know if it is a problem or just a sync thing and that I should be more patient. Error is below: --> Processing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) >= 2.020 for package: perl-IO-Compress --> Finished Dependency Resolution perl-IO-Compress-2.020-1.el5.rf.noarch from rpmforge has depsolving problems --> Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) >= 2.020 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.020-1.el5.rf.noarch (rpmforge) Error: Missing Dependency: perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) >= 2.020 is needed by package perl-IO-Compress-2.020-1.el5.rf.noarch (rpmforge) Thanks, Phil

They build a lot of the perl packages new and that will break dependencies for a short (I hope so) time. regards Olaf

I also tried grabbing the SPEC file from rpmforge along with the module source from CPAN and building, then installing, the missing dependency, but that just led to a flood of complaints from yum update, so in the end I backed that out and resolved to wait for a fix.

Try uninstalling perl-IO-Compress.i386 first. -- Mark

This is the command you should run in this case: # yum --skip-broken update HTH, Filipe
