You are trying to install a new perl-base, however the currenct version of perl you have installed requires the current version of perl-base you have installed.
Not an answer, bit if you don't mind capping .mdk's there's another way, you could use perl cpan shell ("perl -MCPAN -e shell"). A way of upgrading Perl fit for guru's only :-]
thanks for the answer dorward, i wasn't actually asking the question tho! :-)
ahh i would use sources but i'm basically manually upgrading md80 to md81, and ended up simultaenously upgrading about 30 rpms in one command to nuke all the dependencies. all to get rpmdrake / urpmi working nicely...
but then i'd assume that packages like rpmdrake don't come in source ever... so i'd need the rpm dependencies beneath it to get it working properly.
ok.. so i check my mail this morning, and see that someone had actaully bothered to reply to a post that specifically said i was wrong and it didn't matter after all... i guessed correctly who it would be. still think she fancies me ;-)
