[expert] Problems with installkernel and perl

[James Sparenberg]

        All,
    If got more fun here but with my 7.0 boxen.  Seems that whenever I try 
to upgrade a kernel it gives me the error

sbin/installkernel    is needed by kernel xxxxxxxx


I've checked sbin and installkernel is indeed there.  It's chmoded 
755  etc.  I'm root.  I have the same problem with the kde2 rpm's 
complaining about sbin/perl and it's there too.  I'm bald enough as it is 
and can't afford to lose anymore hair, any suggestions!  Please!
Thanks in advance.

James
