I understand that buildroot override in bodhi works for f16 and lower 
only, am I wrong? I wanted to create a new target to make it safe, but 
after a discussion with rel-engs it appears to be too big hammer for 
such a few of packages. A temporary perl built without gdbm seems to be 
fine enough for this purpose.
