For a while now I've been seeing skipped-package notices, which I don't really understand. I know it's a version mis-match, but all my attempts to sort it out have failed, so I need help, please. The current state is

Packages skipped because of dependency problems: perl-IO-Compress-2.037-1.el6.rfx.noarch from rpmforge-extras
Can someone please tell me what needs erasing/installing/updating to get this cleaned up?
Thanks

It might be helpful to show the output from 'rpm -qa perl* | sort'.
As to the reason for the above error... it looks like you have the protect or priority plugins stopping rpmforge-extras packages from updating base components?
Try:
yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=rpmforge-extras update perl-IO-Compress
which should remove the following if installed:
perl-Compress-Zlib perl-IO-Compress-Base perl-IO-Compress-Bzip2 perl-IO-Compress-Zlib
and install/update the following:
perl-IO-Compress perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2 perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib
