Hey,
I ran into a yum conflict regarding an repoforge extra package obsoleting a base package. The thing is that I set a lower priority to repoforge extra... Any idea how come I ran into this issue...?
The question is more about the yum priorities than repoforge.

yum priorities can not overrule hard coded dependencies. yum priorities can decide what to prefer if there were multiple choices.
You tried to install a package that explicitly stated Requires: rrdtool = 1.4.5
If the only rrdtool 1.4.5 is in rpmforge, yum priorities cant help you.
Maybe you could try to update rrdtool first. $ yum update rrdtool $ yum install whatever However, existing rrdtool functionality may break.

Ahh, now it makes sense... Priorities did protect my rrdtool, but it won't "recursively" exclude perl-rrdtool from being updated. I just removed perl-rrdtool since it was apparently not used anymore...
