"dependencies" problems with de-installing

[achana saysit com]

Hi All.
For various reaons, I have to de-install old Apache-1.3.19, which came
standard with RH7.1
On running "rpm -ev apache-1.3.19" , Linux threw these errors :
error : removing these packages would break dependencies
apache=1.3.19-5 is needed by mod_ssl-2.8.1-5
webserver is needed by mod_dav-1.0.2-4
webserver is needed by mod_perl-1.24.01_2
***********
How do I proceed to de-install ???
How do I re-establish the dependencies ??? Rebuild library ???

By the way, check out the bug lists on the earlier versions of Apache
delivered with RH7.1
