I know of at least one issue with yum in CentOS-5. If I try to build grub in mock, I get:

Cannot find build req /usr/lib/crt1.o. Exiting.
centos5 has been out for a looooooooooong time now and the yum that's in centos 5.3 has had a number of bugfixes.
Sorry, the above example output was from a CentOS 5.3 system with yum-3.2.19-18.el5. It was generated a few hours ago. :)
So is yum 3.X considered bad b/c 3.0.X had some bugs?
No, I did not say that. However, I will continue to use CentOS-4 for running mock for the time being.
B/c lemme tell you 2.4.X had a good number of bugs, too.
I firmly believe you. :-)
This still happens with the current yum-3.2.19-18.el5.centos.noarch (and mock-0.6.13-1.el5_2.3.x86_64) in CentOS-5.
It looks like it is fixed in yum available for what will be centos 5.4/rhel 5.4.
yum 3.2.22 doesn't have it this issue.
I'm not sure why, but I just installed yum-3.2.22-15.el5.noarch (from RHEL5.4beta) and mock ended with the same error as above...
