Repoforge extra wants to replace a base library with his version... Other base packages need the old library.

What steps should I take to fix this so I can do a successful "yum update"? Thanks again, Joe Hesse

If you're using third party repositories, you should also be using the yum-priorities plugin, and set the priorities for all repos to avoid conflicts. http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities

I would like if CentOS, or RHEL/CentOS, would have yum-plugin-priorities as part of default install, and all CentOS *.repo files already added "priority=x" line. Then all third-party repositories whould add them as part of thier *.repo files and we could teach newbies how to properly and safely use third-party repositories. This way it is a mess that keeps popularization and en-massing away from CentOS.

This is entirely correct. Like many, I have been in dependency hell because of repo mistakes. Please create a more direct way for new users to protect themselves. We used to caution people, but that's insufficient now. It should be in the base install. I'd say it should be centos priority 1.
Base redhat leaves out too many programs.. epel no longer sufficient, users forced to quilt things together. It is a tough problem for me (experienced user). It drives all the young folks to Ubuntu. that's bad because they then don't understand the redhat systems at work.

My recommendation would be to enable only the epel and nux-dextop repos. If you add any other third party repos, have them be disabled. My experience has been that epel and nux-dextop do not cause dependency issues, and between the two they provide almost everything I want.
Don't be surprised if they don't change anything in the base install. Remember that the whole point of CentOS is to provide a system almost identical to what the upstream source provides.

Well, you *could* try yum update --disablerepo=repoforge

Repoforge "yum update --disablerepo=repoforge" is not a problem,
only Repoforge-extras creates problems, so run:
yum update --disablerepo=repoforge-extras
