The problem is that you have to replace *perl* to meet the dependency on Digest::MD5 amavisd-new is having. Because of the shitty @INC ordering in RHEL (*and* perl itself) you cannot even push a new Digest::MD5 to vendor_perl/ or site_perl/ as that is not going to be picked up: | @INC: | /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi | /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0 | /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi | /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 | /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl | /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0/i386-linux-thread-multi | /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.0 | /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl There's a bugzilla entry concerning that (which I cannot find anymore at the moment), but it didn't look like RH wanted to change that. So I don't think that this is a yum bug, this is a bug in RedHat's perl packaging, as you are not able to override modules which are included with the core perl package. And that hasn't change up to FC5.
