Same thing happening here:  
I cannot update here because of this: when I use yum update -y --exclude=ant* 

ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
Package spamassassin needs perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker), this is not available.
Package mod_perl needs perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker), this is not available.
Complete!

and also this when I use yum update -y 

ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
Package spamassassin needs perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker), this is not available.
Package mod_perl needs perl(ExtUtils::MakeMaker), this is not available.
Complete!

Though, I should not be happy :(, but someone else shares my troubles as well.  What we need is to find a workaround.  I do not understand very well the yum skip-broken package, can this plugin help us in this case?

Regards,

Antonio
