I'll bet thatyou're on a 64-bit system. Try using "yum install
flash-plugin-11.2.202.327-0.1.
el5.rf.i386.rpm"., and see if it gets the necessary dependencies.

Also, it's looking for a package called "libcurl". This not the
same as " a package that provides the libcurl library". What
does "rpm -q libcurl" say?

# uname -m
i686

Disabling the priorities plugin to look everywhere:
# yum list | grep -i libcurl
#

Again, the previous flash version does not depend on "libcurl" or even
curl at all...

# rpm -qR flash-plugin | grep -i curl
#

It's weird that going from 11.2.202.310 to 11.2.202.327 implies such a
big change (adding curl)...

FWIW, I can confirm that this issue exists on x86_64 (centos 5).

I'ld say it's clearly a packaging bug in repoforge, the dep cannot be satisfied with centos + rf repos AFAICT.
