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

No Package Found for /usr/lib/crt1.o 0:binutils-2.17.50.0.6-9.el5.x86_64 0:ncurses-devel-5.5-24.20060715.x86_64

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.

So is yum 3.X considered bad b/c 3.0.X had some bugs? B/c lemme tell you 2.4.X had a good number of bugs, too.

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.
