Has any one come accross the same issuse and solved the same .
Yeah, it's a complete pain in the neck. I've not found a force option with yum, but what I do, for example, in installing RT3, is use yum-downloader, do a download only of the rpmforge package (as in this case) and then do rpm --force -ivh <package>.
Sorry, hit send too soon--I should comment that there is always a risk when using the --force option, and you do so at your own risk. However, in the caes of perl modules, every conflict that *I've* run into has always only been with man pages, and it hasn't caused an issue--for me--but pleaes do be careful when using --force.
