[rhn-users] How to install perl-DBD-MySQL RPM package

[Daniel Wittenberg]

up2date --get-source perl-DBD-MySQL
rpmbuild --rebuild /var/spool/up2date/mysql-3.23.58-15.RHEL3.1*.src.rpm

Basically, just download and reubild the src.rpm and then you should be
able to install.  It just needs to be rebuilt against your current
version mysql libraries.  You can force this version to be installed,
but I can pretty much guarantee it won't work right.
