I have retired the EL5 branch following the procedure here, by marking it as dead.package and retiring the branch:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/PackageEndOfLife Here is the rel-eng ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4373 Hopefully this will be pushed through soon. Sorry for the confusion, I got broken dep messages for missing python-numeric in RHEL/EPEL 6, and I assumed that it was also missing in RHEL/EPEL 5. I should have checked a bit more. Ideally bodhi would detect such a situation and prevent things being pushed. Also it's not super easy to find whether a package is or is not in RHEL. There's no equivalent of PackageDB, you have to nose around the SRPM directories, which seems somewhat suboptimal.
