Someone should probably fix either the prereq's for PHP or the provides of 
libgdbm2.  I'd hate to think something as important as PHP is being --force'd 
by the installer.  It's only after a minimal install that I can't install 
PHP.  (Thus my assumption that the installer thinks it knows best and forces 
everything in - especially since reordering everything for proper install 
order would take forever.)
