Back to using Dag's repo - setup all sorts of yum exceptions, so that the broken EPEL packages do not interfere with the good packages provided by Dag. Welcome to the repo hell. :-(
That't exactly what yum-priorities has been written for. Just setup rpmforge with a bigger priority over epel and you are done.
Last time such a discussion popped up and I simply stated that RPMforge and EPEL are not compatible and you are better off using only one of both I was told to stop spreading FUD (by Rex Dieter).
Apparently it stopped being FUD today ?
I would say they most certainly are _not_ copmatible. :) I don't use EPEL's clam packages either and instead use exclude/includepkgs to pull them in from rpmforge explicitly.
Kind of a mess, but hey it works. :)
