Is this ok [y/N]: n
[/code]
priority in rpmforge.repo is set to 11
And priorities in CentOS-Base.repo are set according to centos wiki about rpmforge.
I don't know why it wants to replace perl-Compress-Zlib.i386 1.42-1.fc6 with perl-IO-Compress from rpmforge

Edit: My original post was not correct.
I have had some similar issues with priorities recently (http://centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=22241&forum=37), but appear to have been a function of a local repo override.

Edit Edit: If you use the "yum -v ..." do you see the initial priorities exclusion and then a "simple update" allow?

please also post output of

# yum list yum*

(which should look something like the following)

Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, keys, priorities
