Hi Connie, Troy,
We are also seeing this dependency failure on both SL5.4 and SL5.5
systems and for both the .i386 and .x86_64 versions of the lvm2
security release.
Our SL5.4 systems have: device-mapper-1.02.32-1.el5
Our SL5.5 systems have: device-mapper-1.02.39-1.el5.i386
Sufficently new versions of device-mapper, device-mapper-multipath
and kpartx are available in sl-fastbugs for anyone who wants to fix
this before Connie or Troy has time to copy them into sl-security
device-mapper-1.02.39-1.el5_5.2.i386.rpm
device-mapper-1.02.39-1.el5_5.2.x86_64.rpm
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-34.el5_5.4.i386.rpm
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.7-34.el5_5.4.x86_64.rpm
kpartx-0.4.7-34.el5_5.4.i386.rpm

Error: Missing Dependency: device-mapper >= 1.02.39-1.el5_5.1 is needed by

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
