I'm getting a strange problem when I try and do an update.  I just got 
these machines and wanted to do a general update, so I include the 
desired repositories and do a yum update.  It finds a whole bunch of 
files (including:
Update: perl.x86_64 3:5.8.5-14.FC3
   Update: perl-Cyrus.x86_64 0:2.2.12-1.1.fc3
   Update: perl-suidperl.x86_64 3:5.8.5-14.FC3
  ), downloads them, then gives me this:

how can those two packages conflict?  Shouldn't it just update perl? 
These are the first 2 64-bit machines I've used yum on...do I need 
different repositories?

Thanks,
Anne
