I got back to this today.
I have been finding and installing each of the dependencies and then came
to:

"perl-XML-RSS"

It had a dependency of: "perl-DateTime-Format-Mail"
I found that and tried installing it and got:
"           Requires: perl(DateTime) >= 0.1705
           Installed: 1:perl-DateTime-0.5300-1.el6.x86_64
(@rhel-6-server-rpms)
               perl(DateTime) = 0.53
"
I looked this up and it seems to be a dilemma, I've got a newer version than
what it seems to require however it won't install.
This is the last thing BackupPC seems to be complaining about, if I can
figure this out I can proceed with the installation.
I don't remember this happening on my test system, but even though it was
the same OS it was a different environment.
Ideas about getting around this please?
