That's a bogus dependency in yum-dellsysid. There's no reason for it to depend on exactly that version of smbios-utils-python. Something strange is happening, as yum-dellsysid is from the same SRPM as smbios-utils-python, meaning the yum-dellsysid noarch package must have gotten pushed out, while the smbios-utils-python packages that match it didn't. But that isn't what happened - they're both present in the repo together... ./isv:/dell:/community/el5-x86_64/x86_64/smbios-utils-python-2.2.21-3.2.el5.x86_64.rpm ./isv:/dell:/community/el5-x86_64/x86_64/yum-dellsysid-2.2.21-3.2.el5.x86_64.rpm As as shot in the dark, perhaps upgrade only the dell-community-repository RPM first, and then try the full yum upgrade. It may be that the new repository RPM needs to be installed first to provide proper (maybe fixed?) pointers to the community repo, so subsequent upgrades will find the right content. Michael Brown has been working on this code again this last week - hopefully he can look into it - but likely not over the weekend.
