detailed. It looks a bit as if your<BR>> update tool was seeing a newer
"perl" but not the corresponding updates<BR>> of other/related packages.
Messages like that mean that it could not apply<BR>> some updates because it
would break dependencies of old/installed <BR>> packages.<BR>><BR>>
Please open your favourite terminal, run "yum clean metadata ; yum
update"<BR>> and don't truncate the output if you can repeat the error
messages.</FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and found out that for some reason it update perl

an update of Perl to 5.10.0-68.fc10. The perl-version<BR>> (0.74-68.fc10) and
perl-Module-Pluggable (3.60-68.fc10) packages are built<BR>> from the same
"perl" src.rpm package, so normally they are released<BR>> together with the
"perl" and "perl-libs" packages and should be available<BR>> at the same time
as the new "perl" package.<BR>><BR>> Typically the fix is to clean
old/cached repository metadata, try again<BR>> and wait till you're assigned
to a mirror that offers a sufficiently<BR>> recent set of updates. Meanwhile
you can examine your installed packages<BR>> (show what versions of the
packages are installed) and list the available<BR>> updates in the remote
repositories (with repoquery or yum, for example).<BR>> It's also possible to
view a package repository with your favourite<BR>> browser and save a copy of
the repodata directory (to further analyse<BR>> it in order to find out
whether it is bad and only refers to a partial<BR>> set of the "perl"
updates).<BR>><BR><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you
