So the offending rpm was this one that yum update wants me to install:

perl-Compress-Zlib.i386                  1.42-1.fc6             base    

If I go ahead and install it, the same error as above always pops up when I go
to start Mailscanner.

So I guess I should just ignore it?  Perhaps mark all perl rpms as "skip" for
yum update?  Is that what I'm suppose to do?

Thanks.
