I have a Centos 4 box that has been updated all the way to 4.6 without using the centosplus repository.
Now I want to use the centosplus repository for Centos 4 to get the latest LAMP, mod_perl, perl and other perl modules so that I can install rt 3.6.6 and its necessary modules.
However, for some reason, the latest perl package in the centosplus repository does not appear on the radar when I run yum check-update. Has anybody ran into this and get around the problem?
Contents of yum.conf and Centos-Base.repo and output from yum check-update follow.
