I think that was one of the reasons it is not advised to enable all
three of them in yum at once. Stick with extras, unless you know that a
package is specific to ATrpms or RPMForge, then use:
yum -y --enablerepo rpmforge install blahblah.rpm
then yum will grab the package from that site then. Otherwise the repo
isn't used by default. You might give that a whirl. Ric
