[CentOS] Openwebmail emergency (Perl)

[Jussi Hirvi]

It seems Openwebmail is using Perl-Compress-Zlib from rpmforce, but in 
Centos this is obsoleted by Perl-IO-Compress, and there is a conflict.

This I got when I tried to install the rpmforce package:

[root at mail log]# yum install perl-Compress-Zlib
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, installonlyn
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
  * addons: ftp.funet.fi
  * base: ftp.funet.fi
  * extras: ftp.funet.fi
  * rpmforge: wftp.tu-chemnitz.de
  * updates: ftp.funet.fi
Setting up Install Process
Package perl-Compress-Zlib is obsoleted by perl-IO-Compress, trying to 
install perl-IO-Compress-2.030-2.el5.rf.noarch instead
Package perl-IO-Compress-2.030-2.el5.rf.noarch already installed and 
latest version
Nothing to do
