ok, i discovered a mistake in my original report. i wasn't trying to install

i was trying to install

postgresql-contrib-7.3.3

when i got

and the following is still correct:

so who supplies perl(Pg) for postgresql-contrib if it doesn't come from
postgresql-pl or from perl-DBD-Pg-1.13-5?

should i just rpm -ivh --nodepends and hope? right now my development
system is broken because i need pgcrypto and it's part of contrib...
