CentOS - Jul 2011 - perl-Nagios-Plugin-0.35-1.el5.rf.noarch from rpmforge: dependency problem

Hi folks,

I hope this is the right mailing list to ask since on the repoforge 
website there is no list or contact information.

I have a problem with updating the perl-Nagios-Plugin package. I have 
installed perl-Nagios-Plugin-0.33-1.el6.rf.noarch, and running yum 
update leads to:
> Error: Package: perl-Nagios-Plugin-0.35-1.el6.rf.noarch (rpmforge)

I do not see how to get this fixed; enabling rpmforge-extras and 
rpmforge-testing did not work (no /usr/local/bin/perl there), and 
symlinking /usr/local/bin/perl to stanard perl did not work either.

I run into this problem on CentOS5 and 6, the latter both in 32bit and 
64bit. And I do not find any hint on Google. Am I the only one to use 
this package? :-)

Any hint or help is appreciated.

Dirk

It's already fixed in perl-Nagios-Plugin-0.35-2.el6.rf.noarch:

https://github.com/repoforge/rpms/commit/44f9637f9951b4a85662ebd75bd9a355eb69516d

which has obviously yet to filter through to the mirrors.
