Hi!

I'm working on upgrading my Xen Domain0 to CentOs 5.2. However, yum update gives me a package conflict on perl:

Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test

Transaction Check Error: file /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/pod/perldiag.pod from install of perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.8-10.el5_0.2 file /usr/share/man/man1/c2ph.1.gz from install of perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3 conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.8-10.el5_0.2 \

This can also happen if you have both i386 and x86_64 version of perl installed. Only the x86_64 version gets updated, and this leads to the conflict.
