I followed the Wiki instructions for setting up *yum-priorities*. I added the rpmforge repo I installed clamd without a problem. Now when I go to update I get conflicts with perl-Math-BigInt.
Is the only solution to uninstall the base version and then install the rpmforge version?
According the the wiki "Packages from repositories with a lower priority will never be used to upgrade packages that were installed from a repository with a higher priority." If this true why the conflicts? please advise Thanks Dan
Sometimes you will get conflicts if the new package doesn't have a corresponding base package but was built into the base's monolithic rpm. I don't think base has a separate package for that module, but has it as part of the base perl rpm.
If you really need the newer version you might have to --force it. Or you can see if the version in base perl is OK for your needs.
