Yes, I did see this warning on CentOS wiki re RPMForge but decided to use it anyway. But how does this relate to the problem? I DO NOT even have perl-IO-Compress installed. Mostly I figured this was a repository entanglement problem, but I didn't know why. I mean why do I keep getting messages about updating something I don't have installed.
Not installed packages are installed to resolve dependencies of packages that will be updated.
its a broken repository and shouldn't be used. "I know its broken but decided to use it anyways?" maybe that warning should be made stronger.
BTW - rfx tagged packages respectively the corresponding repo replaces distro packages.
