What didn't work in the migration? There is a known problem with the 
2.5.1 rpm - you have to uninstall the "Five" product and re-install the 
correct version (see 
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.zope.plone.user/60692).

See also http://lists.plone.org/pipermail/setup/2006-November/002608.html.

The zope and plone packages were orphaned a few weeks ago. I don't know 
what there current status is.
