You mean this package is part of CentOS base, it is not part of the perl package. > > Questions: > > 1) Are the newer perl packages from rpmforge compatible with the > installed base perl packages?

How would we break other rpms? The obvious problem you can have is that programs using Net::SSLeay could not function correctly after the update anymore. It is quite unlikely but you might want to read the changelog (http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/FLORA/Net-SSLeay-1.36/Changes) and test if the applications using Net::SSLeay work with the new package. ++C _______________________________________________ users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.rpmforge.net/mailman/listinfo/users
