mark,  

from your post here

http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/2010-May/093953.html

i infer that the package in question comes from EPEL.  is that correct?  (if so, i suggest that you make use of EPEL support resources: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#Where_can_I_find_help_or_report_issues.3F).

i don't know how the EPEL maintainers are handling the interval between RHEL 5.5 and CentOS 5.5; however, if they have moved their buildhosts to RHEL 5.5, and they are rebuilding packages for RHEL 5.5, that would explain the behavior you are seeing.  the discussion here seems potentially relevant: https://www.redhat.com/archives/epel-devel-list/2010-April/msg00008.html and also this BZ entry: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=563985

did you google before posting to the list?

my latest information from Dag is that RPMforge is not planning to upgrade buildhosts to 5.5 until CentOS 5.5 is out.  RPMforge currently provides a memcached-1.4.5 package that will run on CentOS 5.4, and will also run on RHEL 5.5 with the compat-libevent-11a package (also from RPMforge).
