Let me add my voice to those who suspect that there is an issue with 
Pirut.

I did a clean install from DVD without Eclipse (IIRC, I couldn't even get 
Eclipse from the DVD).

I ran Pirut and selected the Development -> Eclipse collection.  Pirut 
downloaded the Eclipse components I had selected and installed them, but 
it did not download or install any of the 59 dependencies that Eclipse 
requires.  package-cleanup reported all of them missing.

I removed the Eclipse components I had installed and then re-installed 
with command-line yum.  All dependencies were detected and added, and they 
are happily downloading as I write.

Similar experience with Pirut and xfig, x3270-x11, ddd, dejagnu, 
amanda-client, fwbuilder.
