which are all either noarch or x86_64 rpms yet it wants to install perl i386 version? I could ask on rf list but it wont let me subscribe so that's of no help:/
Is there an obvious reason for this, or another bizarre erroneous dependency issue?
Can you identify which one of these packages individually is requiring the 32-bit perl? In other words, can you install perl-LDAP without it wanting to pull in the 32-bit perl? Same for all of them...
You can also do an rpm -q -R -p <rpm> on the .rpm file to see what it requires, but I'm not sure if that will tell us anything particularly useful.
Have you tried the rpmforge IRC channel?
