Re: [CentOS] Upgrade perl; package conflict

...

Thanks again for your help!!!

is it possible that you have extras set at a different priority than base ... you also have the protectbase installed along with priorities (not recommended).

You should have these settings for [extras], [base] and [updates] sections in CentOS-Base.repo:

priority=1 protect=1

You should also (after properly configuring your repo files), use yum-priorities and remove yum-protectbase.

Johnny,

That fixed the problem. I had the Extras as set to a priority of 2. I also disabled protectbase. Can you comment about the use "protectbase" When should it be used?

Thank you much for your help!!!
