perl seems to be contaminating everything.

As a zealous perl programmer, your comment made me curious.  It turns
out the problem is with yum, not perl.

Here are a couple bugzilla links with more details:

Bugzilla Bug 250476: yum: (more) kdesdk/kdebindings, perl(DCOP) pain
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250476

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=252461

According to the comments on the first bug report there is a fix, not
sure if that has made it out of updates-testing yet.  So, you could
either get the new yum that fixes the problem or remove kdesdk if you
do not need it.

Cheers,

Mike

Where does perl come into the picture? Yum uses python. It is clearly
referenced in the output posted above as python 2.5.
