rpmforge née RepoForge is not being updated much anymore and is no 
longer a 'good' repository.  for an example perl-IO-Compress hasn't been 
updated since 2012.    anyways, perl-IO-Compress-Bzip2 is part of base  
in el6.

I would uninstall any packages you need that are from rpmforge, remove 
that repo from your repos.d and find equivalent packages in a better 
supported repository.

this should list any RepoForge packages that are already installed on 
your system...

     rpm -qa |egrep \\.rf
