Hi Oscar,

rpm -e all of these rpms.  Let's do it by hand, one at a time.
Grab DBI and DBD (or if you want I'll email them to you.)

Unpack each archive into /usr/local/src (as root)
cd /usr/local/src/DBI* (he goes first)
perl Makefile.PL
make
make install

repeat the process for DBD...trust me it makes sense to remove=20
mandrake/redhat's rpm (redhat package mangler) from the equation.
Let's let perl do it's job.  It will complain if something is
amiss.
