I think the real issue is this line from the perl specfile:

Stop digging yourself ;)
IO::Zlib and IO::Compress::Base are core modules since Perl 5.10.0.
CPAN disagrees. cpan[2]> m IO::Compress::Base Module id = IO::Compress::Base CPAN_USERID PMQS (Paul Marquess <pmqs@cpan.org>) CPAN_VERSION 2.045 CPAN_FILE P/PM/PMQS/IO-Compress-2.045.tar.gz MANPAGE IO::Compress::Base - Base Class for IO::Compress modules INST_FILE /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.12.3/IO/Compress/Base.pm ^^^^^^^^^^^ that's d:l:p, not the perl.rpm INST_VERSION 2.036 cpan[3]> m IO::Zlib Module id = IO::Zlib DESCRIPTION IO:: style interface to Compress::Zlib CPAN_USERID TOMHUGHES (Tom Hughes <tom@compton.nu>) CPAN_VERSION 1.10 CPAN_FILE T/TO/TOMHUGHES/IO-Zlib-1.10.tar.gz DSLIP_STATUS bdpO?

IMO, the perl.spec needs versioned Obsoletes: perl($foo) <= $module_version if using any "Obsoletes", the modules from d:l:p use a seperate tree for the files, only the manpages are a real conflict, but those _can_ be overridden in yast/zypper (IIRC), the Obsoletes cannot, I e.g. get only 2 solutions, both identical "do not install $package". That sucks. I resorted to using 'rpm -Uvh --force'. BTW: I'm on 11.4 and it's perl has only IO::Compress 2.024 and I needed >= 2.036. And that a newer Compress::Raw::Zlib.
