yum-utils is not found in CentOS5 EPEL, unless I am looking in the wrong place.
We do have:
yum-utils. noarch 1.0.4-3.el5.centos.2 base
in the CentOS 5.1 base distro.
And there is no python-setuputils in EPEL, there is:
python-setuptools 0.6c7 1.el5 src 261 KiB Fri Sep 14 16:21:06 2007
Both of the above are working for me, so far.
The cheetah from EPEL
python-cheetah 2.0.1 1.el5 src 214 KiB Tue Jan 22 15:13:20 2008
does appear to be newer than the one I earlier snagged from the dag repo
python-cheetah .i386 2.0-0.1.rc8.el5.rf dag
This is the first time I have used anything from the EPEL repo.
I have been leery of the EPEL repo, since there was a time, not long ago,
when their packagers were blatantly refusing to cooperate with other
repos on compatibility issues. I hope times have changed.
