I have an update problem I am hoping some guru can help me with. It's
different than the other thread so I didn't want to thread jack. I have
a dependency issue that I can't figure out how to get around
I tried to do a yum update with the following results:

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
[root@laetitia yum.repos.d]# cd /packages/
I then tried to install perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.052-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
using the rpm and it gave me this error:
[root@laetitia packages]# rpm -Uhv
perl-Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.052-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
perl(Compress::Raw::Zlib) = 2.037 is needed by (installed)
perl-IO-Compress-2.037-1.el5.rfx.noarch
This seems like a classic military catch 22. I tried to force the
install, so I could then update perl-IO but it wouldn't install it
because of the dependency.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

I don't have much time right now, but I'd be very careful with this one.
Yum uses this stuff, so you can't simply remove and then re-add them
with yum.
Have you tried doing these (as suggested by yum)?:
