[CLUE-Tech] upgrading apache

[Jason S. Friedman]

I'm running RedHat 7.3.  I want to install the latest and greatest apache from 
source:

root at charles /var/log $ rpm -e apache
error: removing these packages would break dependencies:
        apache is needed by apacheconf-0.8.2-2
        webserver   is needed by mod_dav-1.0.3-5
        webserver is needed by mod_perl-1.26-5
        webserver is needed by mod_ssl-2.8.7-4
        webserver is needed by namazu-cgi-2.0.10-4
        webserver is needed by webalizer-2.01_10-1
        webserver is needed by auth_ldap-1.6.0-4
        webserver is needed by mod_auth_any-1.0.2-1
        webserver is needed by mod_auth_pgsql-0.9.12-2
        webserver is needed by mod_bandwidth-2.0.3-3
        webserver is needed by mod_put-1.3-4
        webserver is needed by mod_python-2.7.6-5
        webserver is needed by mod_roaming-1.0.2-4
        webserver is needed by mod_throttle-3.1.2-5
        webserver is needed by mod_auth_mysql-1.11-1
        webserver is needed by nut-cgi-0.45.4-1

I know I can force it, and then install apache from source, and that many of 
those packages can be reinstalled (possibly via rpm, possibly via source), 
but what are some of the ramifications?
