I told it to update all my packages.  :-)

I do have rpmforge as a repo in order to get a thing or two that
CentOS does not offer.  How can I diagnose if this is the problem?
Here's a list of perl packages according to rpm -qa ---- are the ".rf"
ones from rpmforge?  I think most of those are requirements for the
amavisd-new package.
