Matahari is deprecated

After a nice long hiatus... Matahari is deprecated. 

I was spinning up a VM to play with and happened to have a CentOS 6.2 ISO to do the install from. Once it was complete, I went to update the OS and received the following errors:

 ---> Package qpid-cpp-server-ssl.x86_64 0:0.12-6.el6 will be updated
---> Package qpid-cpp-server-ssl.x86_64 0:0.14-22.el6_3 will be an update

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

[root@centosx64-py3 ~]#

So, I did some digging and eventually stumbled across a thread with a note that "Matahari is deprecated and the upstream vendor says you should remove it:"

 # yum remove matahari*

I removed matahari, ran the yum update again, and it worked like a charm.
