Can't install CentOS 5.2 update?

[Dave Jones]

A more simple method that I use is:

# yum -y update (this will fail with the conflicts but download the packages
into the yum cache for the rpm --force command below)
# yum -y update --exclude=perl*
# cd /var/cache/yum/rpmforge/packages
# rpm -Uhv --force perl*
# reboot  (if needed to get on a new kernel -- or just restart MailScanner)

You don't have to reinstall MailScanner everytime you get an updated perl
module conflict.
