Did you install perl(URI) via CPAN, or from RPM? If the
former, the
RPM database doesn't know that it's installed, so when you
install SVN
from RPM it doesn't know that the dependency has been
satisfied. You
can either uninstall via CPAN, then reinstall it via RPM, or
if that's
the only missing dependency, use --force to make it install
the SVN
RPM anyway.
