Each package requires it's own minimum version of python, that needs to
match your distro version and bus type (64 bit / 32 bit).  So if the
requirement is for Python 2.4 and your system has been updated to 2.6 under
most circumstances your packages will be fine.  However, there exist
packages that can't be updated due to interdependence.

Yes, python will need to be updated.

These errors indicate that package management is attempting to install the
el5 version of packages rather than the correct distro.

Solution:  Reinstall RPMFORGE


# wget http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm

# rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm


# yum clean all

# yum update


> Thanks!!


If you have the ability to boot into Knoppix and dd the full system to an
external USB or SAN, I would recommend doing so before the updates, should
you have a great deal of configuration completed and important
systems/services.

We will have a full duplex lab with excellent SQL Injection Presentation
from David Demland (Educator) and Ruben (aka The MAN) and Scott Becerra
(Security Professionals) followed with a full exploit fest/lab this
weekend.  As always we follow up the fun with example solutions and tool
use training.  Get the first flag and Take HOME a Prize.  Come and snag a
Hackfest Tee Shirt, or other item.   Come join your favorite clowners at
PLUG Hackfest this Saturday - DeVry University 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

Other services available include DefCon Video loan (last 3 years of DefCon
commercial videos), Community Outreach for education (Demonstrations, Tag
Team/Pentesting), Small Business forensics from the Interns and Students
with the assistance of one of our mentors on a sliding fee scale (pro
bono), or reduced rates and of course consultation services and assistance
from the extensive experience of our community members.

Come learn the power of linux as a powerful security tool.  Come realize
our mission to drag professionals kicking and screaming from the Security
Matrix.  Watch,  as we break down the incorrect assumptions via
demonstration,  educate students on the use of linux based pentesting
tools, assist hobbyists to securely and safely negotiate insecure networks
at college, coffee shops and our neighborhoods, and finally learn from
"frontline" professionals on the Cyber War frontiers.
