John, THANK YOU very much for responding --
The only hints I can find seem to suggest to remove perl-IO-Socket-INET6, but trying to do so using yum (I don't want to start using another method of package management) tells me that spamassassin is a dependency and will also be removed - obviously undesirable.
If you really want to remove it, use rpm instead. rpm -e --nodeps perl-IO-Socket-INET6 But it will annoy you at every update...
That was my fear... I'm wondering why this crept up again, since all my packages are completely up to date according to yum.
yum only does what we tell it to do.
It is possible that you have a package installed that is not from the CentOS repos, etc.
If people add external repositories, it is very easy to get conflicts.
