I'm really wondering what sane user would ever say YES to THIS question... Is like if the sustem aks you for permission to selfdestruct... as it's a question, let's reply with YES?? Sorry.. I would say you had rather some luck that perl-base failed in first instance... otherwise you'd probably have ended up with a system without rpm installed on it... tough luck to install anything else.. even using zypper, as zypper just relies on rpm in the background.
Why? It is going to remove rpm and install rpm, ie, it is going to upgrade rpm. That's correct. The problem is that it wants to install perl before.
What you can try is to download rpm from the factory repository manually and install it using rpm -Fhv rpm-4*.rpm
Probably the easiest way.
