I am trying to install git-1.7.1 from the rpmforge repository on my
CentOS-5.5 CI box. I am getting the following error:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
I do not do Perl and I have no ide how to translate
perl(packed-refs) into a package anme. Nor does 'yum provides
*/*packed-refs*' supply an answer. What other package do I need
installed to get git-1.7.1 to install?
