Just for the sake of completeness, I find that the following packages are needed by some update package via dsu at some point on CentOS: OpenIPMI usbutils compat-libstdc++-33.i686 zlib.i686 ncurses-libs.i686 glibc.i686 libstdc++.i686 libxml2.i686
OpenIPMI is required to allow Systems-Management_Application* to install for example.
