Unfortunately the RedHat RPMS also have massive cross dependancy
issues.  The only way I've been able to do this in the past is
to perform a CDROM based update.  It is sad that so many things
can't be upgraded, except from source builds, for these reasons.

Sorry for the delay in response, but I somehow managed to get
myself unsubscribed.
