Well, you are trying to solve it as if it were microsoft!

**reformatting** is not the answer.

Reading the error messages IS important, unlink microsoft.

It is trying to upgrade to perl5.6.1 from 5.6.0.  If you are relatively
new to linux, that's not worth the effort, get a current distribution.
If you can't do that, upgrade your rpms from online.

This is an rpm/distribution issue, not ic.
