rpmforge née RepoForge is not being updated much anymore and is no longer a 'good' repository. for an example perl-IO-Compress hasn't been updated since 2012. anyways, perl-IO-Compress-Bzip2 is part of base in el6.
I would uninstall any packages you need that are from rpmforge, remove that repo from your repos.d and find equivalent packages in a better supported repository.
this should list any RepoForge packages that are already installed on your system...
rpm -qa |egrep \\.rf
Yes, I did see this warning on CentOS wiki re RPMForge but decided to use it anyway. But how does this relate to the problem? I DO NOT even have perl-IO-Compress installed. Mostly I figured this was a repository entanglement problem, but I didn't know why. I mean why do I keep getting messages about updating something I don't have installed.
