Thx for the hint.
But well, the problem round about stays the same until CentOS (and other
clones) ship 5.1. And we run into the same problem again for 5.1.z once
5.2 ships.
May I suggest repotags or using CentOS as the build system :).
EPEL5.0.0 would be a good fix :).
There I have fulfilled my monthly trolling requirements.
