Can you identify which one of these packages individually is requiring the 32-bit perl? In other words, can you install perl-LDAP without it wanting to pull in the 32-bit perl? Same for all of them...
You can also do an rpm -q -R -p <rpm> on the .rpm file to see what it requires, but I'm not sure if that will tell us anything particularly useful.
I will try that tomorrow, pushed through to test something else so its now:) I'll roll the lvm snap back (xen DomU).
Have you tried the rpmforge IRC channel?
Didn't think of that, I will also log on to that to see why I cant subscribe.
There is a known issue with the new version of yum on RHEL/CentOS 5.2 ...
You need to specify the packages like this:
yum install <package_name>.x86_64
not
yum install <package_name>
If you do not specify, then yum can install both (or either) of i386 or x86_64 packages to meet that requirement.
