But that is only triggered if the version of MailScanner currently 
installed is less than 4.76.11.
Are you upgrading from a version before 4.76.11?

Because the RPMs are totally different beyond 4.76.11 than they were 
before it, so the old ones have to be removed to force the installation 
of the new ones. Otherwise you won't be able to "yum upgrade" your 
system due to clashes between some of the perl-* RPMs and the perl RPM 
itself. 4.76.11 was the point at which I fixed all of that, so earlier 
ones have to be removed.

But the new Filesys::Df installs just fine on Fedora 11, so I fail to 
see why it would be a problem.
