Just to muddy the waters on this a bit more... for me, the rpmforge perl-Time-HiRes package won't install as it conflicts with my base installation of perl.
Yea, I just figured that out.
This is on a RHEL5.2 x86_64 system however.
So I assume an x86 install doesn't have this issue?
# rpm -qf --queryformat '%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n' /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Time/HiRes.pm perl-5.8.8-10.el5_2.3.x86_64
So it seems HiRes is already provided by perl, although the actual file that conflicts is a man page.
Doing a perldoc Time::HiRes gave info, so yes it does look like its provided already.
(This is why I generally avoid rpmforge if I can :)
What else do you use then? I understood rpmforge was supposed to be the best 3rd part repo for CentOS? I would assume any repo will have some issues once and a while...
I would say it is the "Best" one ... it seems there is a problem in this instance.
