Hi all, everytime I play with perl I end up falling on my face.
Yesterday, some new perl modules available from rf (my chosen repo for perl, perl is excluded from my CentOS-Base), however it did not like an already installed perl-File-Temp, so not recalling it was necessary for my mail system I removed it and allowed the updates. Then when I discovered my mail system no longer working (amavisd installed as per centos wiki) I tried to re-install - finally using --force - but now I have two Temp.pm files and the one I need is not found. Why is it that perl has this really messy structure and allows multiple files / methods of the same name, and thus tripping up the unsuspecting.
Now I'm lost as to how to unwind and remove the necessary files from yesterdays update so I can reinstall perl-File-Temp? the error message :-
Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/man/man3/File::Temp.3pm.gz from install of perl-File-Temp-0.22-1.el5.rf.noarch conflicts with file from package perl-5.8.8-18.el5_3.1.i386
From this it appears that the base perl is in conflict, yet yesterdays updated perl files were Jul 26 23:34:17 Updated: perl-DBI-1.609-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:22 Updated: perl-Net-DNS-0.65-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:35 Updated: perl-HTML-Parser-3.61-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:37 Updated: perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.020-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:41 Updated: perl-Net-SSLeay-1.35-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:42 Installed: perl-Crypt-OpenSSL-RSA-0.25-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:43 Updated: 1:perl-Convert-UUlib-1.12-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:34:45 Updated: perl-Digest-SHA1-2.12-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:35:05 Updated: perl-DBD-mysql-4.012-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:35:06 Installed: perl-Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2.020-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:35:09 Installed: perl-Digest-SHA-5.47-1.el5.rf.i386 Jul 26 23:35:30 Installed: perl-IO-Compress-2.020-2.el5.rf.noarch Jul 26 23:35:32 Installed: perl-Mail-DKIM-0.36-1.el5.rf.noarch Jul 26 23:35:42 Updated: perl-Package-Constants-0.02-1.el5.rf.noarch Jul 26 23:35:43 Updated: perl-IO-Socket-SSL-1.26-1.el5.rf.noarch Jul 26 23:36:52 Updated: perl-IO-Zlib-1.10-1.el5.rf.noarch Jul 26 23:39:05 Erased: perl-Compress-Zlib Jul 26 23:39:05 Erased: perl-IO-Compress-Base Jul 26 23:39:06 Erased: perl-IO-Compress-Zlib
I tried to remove perl-IO* but it wants to remove most of my machine and I cannot allow that. So how do I rewind and get it straight? lost in the maze of perls

Further looking at both my mail servers makes me even more confused. One is i686 the other x64_86. The one having problems is the i686. They both have rpmforge set up for perl and both up to date. the x64_86 does not have nor apparently need perl-File-Temp. both have nearly identical conf files for amavisd (domains differ) so why does the i686 machine look for Temp.pm with a seek function but the 64bit doesn't? confused now I guess I need to check version numbers

I found that the perl-MIME-tools package I had was from another repo, replaced with rf version and all is well. problem was an enable=0 in the yum.repo.d repo file rather than enabled=0
Are you running MailScanner?
