yum-utils is not found in CentOS5 EPEL, unless I am looking in the wrong place.

We do have:

    yum-utils.                   noarch    1.0.4-3.el5.centos.2   base

in the CentOS 5.1 base distro.



And there is no python-setuputils in EPEL, there is:

    python-setuptools  	0.6c7  	1.el5  	src  	261 KiB  	Fri Sep 14 16:21:06 2007

Both of the above are working for me, so far.



The cheetah from EPEL

    python-cheetah  	2.0.1  	1.el5  	src  	214 KiB  	Tue Jan 22 15:13:20 2008

does appear to be newer than the one I earlier snagged from the dag repo

    python-cheetah          .i386        2.0-0.1.rc8.el5.rf        dag


This is the first time I have used anything from the EPEL repo.
I have been leery of the EPEL repo, since there was a time, not long ago,
when their packagers were blatantly refusing to cooperate with other
repos on compatibility issues.  I hope times have changed.
