perl-Date-Manip upgrades/obsoletes perl-DateManip from RHEL/CentOS

[Ville Skyttä]

# yum update
[...]
Installing:
 perl-Date-Manip         noarch     5.48-3.el5       epel              166 k
     replacing  perl-DateManip.noarch 5.44-1.2.1

perl-DateManip is a package included in CentOS and I'm pretty certain RHEL as 
well, so I suppose the obsoleting EPEL perl-Date-Manip package should be 
pulled ASAP.

Umm, *ping*?  Nobody has responded, and the problematic update is still in the 
repo.  Is this not the correct place to report the problem?

I could of course go through Bugzilla but I doubt the package's maintainer has 
permissions needed to fix the problem so I suppose that'd just needlessly 
slow down the resolution.

the best place would be to email
epel_signers-members(a)fedoraproject.org im 
removing it now.  with the mad rush of things at home.  I missed your initial 
email.  Ive marked the package dead in cvs and will be talking to the owner 
and co-maintainer.
