I went to update the Perl RPM's on my Redhat 9 system, but I get the
following error:

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
perl-5.8.0-88.3 requires perl-NDBM_File <=
1:1.75-34.99.6

But, I don't even see a perl-NDBM_File RPM available on Redhat's website.
Should I just use the -force switch to get the update installed? Or
should I be doing something else?

Thanks,
Jeff
