That's the real trick.  There are no error messages
output when installing rpms, and the only real output
is the hash marks and %, unless you know something
that I don't and want to share with the group here.

Example done as root: 

rpm -ivh perl-Tk-a.b-c.i386.rpm

And...nothing...no hash marks/%, just some clocking
and that is it.  The same if I tried perl-curses
module rpm as well.  

I've tried the rpms from here as well, no luck, and
not sure if it would make a difference or not.
