Many perl modules will not update and it boils down to the message in the first line.
I went to the RPMFIND web site and tried to download/install the Bzip2 rpm as indicated but the CentOS system says it can't install this module/file because the 'perl-io-compress-bzip2' module isn't available.
This seems like a catch22 situation. It needs to be there in order to install it.

Rep:
I guess you will have to uninstall the "non compatible" rpmforge packages.
Or wait with an update until rpmforge provides updates that are compatible.
If you uninstall spamassassin and perl-IO-Compress-Bzip2 (etc. etc.):
Disable rpmforge, and use the genuine CentOS packages.
'spamassassin' and 'perl-IO-Compress-Bzip2are' are available
from the CentOS Base repo.
