Actually, I only wanted to say that it doesn't always work (or I'm doing
something terribly wrong here) without using --force options. I have most
often solved it that way, or just downloaded the sourcecode. However, I
believe the last package I had problem with was perl5.005. I now noticed
that there is a 'perl' package that will take care of the conflicts. I
should have used that one instead.
