Well now, this is just weird. So, after running yum remove perl-
DateTime-TimeZone I do this:
[r...@localhost ~]# yum clean all
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities
Cleaning up Everything
Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors
[r...@localhost ~]# yum -q resolvedep perl-DateTime-TimeZone
0:perl-DateTime-TimeZone-0.8301-1.el5.rf.noarch
So far so good. A CentOS 5.2 machine gives me the old version so this
is a change for the better. But then I go to install.
[r...@localhost ~]# yum install perl-DateTime

I don't know what yum is doing at this point. It seems to know about
the DateTime-TimeZone dependency but it completely ignores it and
installs 0.46 anyway.
Well, I went to update DateTime-TimeZone and it sees the new package
correctly.

Is this a problem with the package or another bug in yum? A problem
with my system? Or is it none of those and for some reason this is the
proper behavior?

huh. it works for me:
[sh...@srdce ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS release 5.3 (Final)
[sh...@srdce ~]$ rpm -q yum

[sh...@srdce ~]$ yum -q resolvedep 'perl(DateTime::TimeZone)'
0:perl-DateTime-TimeZone-0.8301-1.el5.rf.noarch
maybe run a `yum clean all` and try again?
