A more simple method that I use is:<br><br># yum -y update (this will fail with the conflicts but download the packages into the yum cache for the rpm --force command below)<br># yum -y update --exclude=perl*<br># cd /var/cache/yum/rpmforge/packages<br>
# rpm -Uhv --force perl*<br># reboot (if needed to get on a new kernel -- or just restart MailScanner)<br><br>You don't have to reinstall MailScanner everytime you get an updated perl module conflict.<br clear="all">
