gnumeric is not in EL5/cent5, neither is goffice.
you are mixing repos and haven't configured your priorities and/or 
includes/excludes correctly. This is not a repoforge issue.

too bad whatever 3rd party repo you're using for goffice and gnumeric is 
either too ignorant or too bloody arrogant to use repotags, as the 
problem would have been obvious if they did...
