Ran into this, too, recently. I don't know whether it's the 'recommended' way, but removing perl-5.8.8-32.el5_5.1.i386 (on a 64bit machine), which was possible without removing anything else, and then updating (which included the installion of perl-5.8.8-32.el5_5.2.x86_64 fixed it for me.

Thanks, I followed your advice. Actually, "sudo yum remove perl-5.8.8-32.el5_5.1.i386" also removed one version of gnumeric (which I don't use on this machine anyway). ------------------------------- --> Processing Dependency: libperl.so for package: gnumeric --> Running transaction check ---> Package gnumeric.i386 1:1.6.3-15.el5.2 set to be erased ------------------------------- However, it turns out that there is still a working version of gnumeric on the machine: ------------------------------- [tim@helen ~]$ sudo rpm -qf /usr/bin/gnumeric gnumeric-1.6.3-15.el5.2 -------------------------------
I've always wondered what the 1: means at the beginning of a package name?

Simply because both packages contain several identical (as in filepath) files... You try to install two versions of the perl package at the same time. You have an old i386 version and try to install a newer x86_64. I think I would remove the old i386 version and install the newer x86_64.
