Hi,

	A little weird.  2 similar servers, one has the problem, the other doesn't.


The problem: when running yum update (centos3), I get conflict errors 
like these:

file /usr/share/man/man3/Getopt::Long.3pm.gz from install of 
perl-5.8.0-97.EL3 conflicts with file from package perl-Getopt-Long-2.36-1

file /usr/share/man/man3/Math::BigRat.3pm.gz from install of 
perl-5.8.0-97.EL3 conflicts with file from package perl-Math-BigRat-0.19-1


Only those 2 modules are shown in errors: perl-Math-BigRat-0.19-1 and 
perl-Getopt-Long-2.36-1.

And while I was writing this message, I tried updating with up2date and 
it worked!

I'll let the message reach the list anyway...

Regards,

Ugo
