Description of problem:
I currently have a Fedora core 1 system, which was installed via
upgrade from CD.  I have been keeping maintenance up to date, and an
up2date -u tells me that everything is just peachy, but that is
because I have told it to ignore the package perl and perl-suidperl.

Up2date offers me two RPMs which I cannot install, perl and perl-suidperl:

Here is the command I run and the messages:

[root@quickdraw yum]# up2date perl perl-suidperl

Testing package set / solving RPM inter-dependencies...
There was a package dependency problem. The message was:
 
Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
perl-5.8.3-16                            requires perl-NDBM_File <=
1:1.75-34.99.6

Trying with yum gives me the same sort of issue:

[root@quickdraw yum]# yum update perl perl-suidperl perl-NDBM_File
Gathering header information file(s) from server(s)
Server: Fedora Core 1 - i386 - Base

perl-NDBM_File is installed and the latest version.
Resolving dependencies
.conflict between perl and perl-NDBM_File
[root@quickdraw yum]#

Finally, what do I have installed now?

[root@quickdraw yum]# rpm -q perl perl-suidperl perl-NDBM_File
perl-5.8.1-92
perl-suidperl-5.8.1-92
perl-NDBM_File-1.75-34.99.6
[root@quickdraw yum]#


I have not tried up2date -u for a while - I see that there is a
similar problem with spamassassin, but I would like to work through
this problem first.  I can't figure out why there is an issue with my
system.

Asking on IRC makes me believe that this issue is one of what I have
installed. Those people who had managed to upgrade to the this level
of perl and suidperl did not have perl-NDBM_File installed.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.8.3-16 perl-suidperl-5.8.3-16.1 

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. up2date -u
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
perl-5.8.3-16                            requires perl-NDBM_File <=
1:1.75-34.99.6

Expected Results:  I expected the fixes to be installed.
