The simple ordinary yum update of CentOS 5.3 spits a bunch of
transaction check errors regarding packages
perl-IO-Compress-Zlib-2.015-1.el5.rf.noarch and
perl-IO-Compress-2.020-1.el5.rf.noarch which is supposed to replace
perl-IO-Compress-Base-2.015-1.el5.rf.noarch:

What is wrong? Is it going to get fixed or what should I do about it?

Best, :-)
