I overrode them because I already had them (python and perl) installed and rpm
continued to give errors. I looked around and found this link on a different
forum
http://answers.oreilly.com/topic/18-how-to-fix-rpm-installation-problems/
I tried rpm -rebuild <..>, rpm -Fvh, rpm -Uvh and none of them were
successful.
Finally, I tried the --nodeps option and it worked. Go figure!
thx,
Kishore
