Recent yum updates on my 64-bit SL50 and SL52 machines have been

On 64-bit SL54 and 32-bit SL52, the updates worked perfectly. Please
could someone look into this bug?
Thanks,

Hi Eva,
Thank you for reading the errata email. In it it states
"NOTE: SL 50-52 x86_64 releases originally had a perl.i386 package. It
was taken out of the x86_64 SL5 distribution and is not part of this
security update. If you have one of these earlier SL5 x86_64
distributions and your perl update does not work due to conflicts, you
should do a "yum remove perl.i386" before doing your update on these
earlier SL 5 x86_64 releases."
To fix your problem, please do
yum remove perl.i386
Thanks
Troy
