[rancid] Can't update router.db

[Dan Letkeman]

I'm not to familiar with using groups.  Cron job looks like this:

SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=root
HOME=/var/rancid
# Run config differ every day at 00:30am
30 00 * * * rancid /usr/libexec/rancid/rancid-run


But, I think I may have found an issue with my OS updates that might be
part of the problem.  Running CentOS 7.  When I did a yum update I recieved
this:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: rancid-3.2-2.el7.x86_64 (@epel)
           Requires: perl(newgetopt.pl)
           Removing: perl-Perl4-CoreLibs-0.001-291.el7.noarch (@base)
               perl(newgetopt.pl)
           Updated By: perl-Perl4-CoreLibs-0.003-7.el7.noarch (base)
               Not found
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem


Thanks,
Dan.
