I'm running yum priorities with all of the base repos set to a priority of 1 or 2, and rpmforge is set to a priority of 3. CentOS release 5.3 (Final).

The package from distro is does not satisfy the dependency and
repository priorities blacklist newer versions from Rpmforge.
You can add exclude=perl-DBI to /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
to override priority protection for this package.

Thanks for the response. I've added that line under [base] in CentOS-Base.repo. This lets the update commence but then I get a Transaction Check Errors along the following lines (full output at the end of this message): file /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux-thread-multi/Sys/Syslog.pm from install of perl-5.8.8-18.el5_3.1.i386 conflicts with file from package perl-Sys-Syslog-0.18-1.noarch

# rpm -q perl-DBI
perl-DBI-1.56-1

Where have you got that package from? As far as I can tell, this is
neither the package from CentOS nor from Rpmforge.
This appears to be down to a previously installed package (MailScanner) which included its own RPMs (perl-DBI among them). I'm going to make a post on the MailScanner list as that now seems like the most appropriate place, but all help so far is appreciated and any further advice is welcome.

After upgrading MailScanner using it's provided packages I'm now running:
# rpm -q perl-DBI
perl-DBI-1.607-1
