SV: New MailScanner Beta Release: Re: MIME::Base64 rpm problems

[Julian Field]

<x-flowed>
The RPM database has got confused because of the earlier MIME-Base64 problems.
You can do exactly what I did here:
         rpm -e --nodeps perl
         up2date -u perl
and if that fails then
         up2date -u --force perl
to put it back in.
Then your Perl installation should be cleaner and you can rerun install.sh.
