Have anyone got this solved yet? I've googled and googled and no solution. I've got 6 CentOS 5.3 servers I'd like to update, but I've put it off since ecryptfs-utils wants to install a bunch of packages when I do a 'yum update'.

A 'yum update' gives me this summary, with 61 new packages to install:

Transaction Summary
=============================
Install     61 Package(s)
Update     110 Package(s)
Remove       0 Package(s)

Total download size: 192 M
Is this ok [y/N]: n
Exiting on user Command


Just checking 'yum update ecryptfs-utils' gives me alone 54 packages to install:

Transaction Summary
=============================
Install     54 Package(s)
Update       5 Package(s)
Remove       0 Package(s)

Total download size: 25 M

Is there no way out of getting all these extra packages?

A list of all the packets can be found listed in this forumthread:
