F7 packages are not directly compatible with RHEL5, I think some of the
python packages are available in EPEL, most other stuff need to be
rebuilt from source rpms to make it work on RHEL5, including the
kerberos package as we enabled a new subpackage (krb5-server-ldap) in
the spec file that is not normally available in RHEL5.

Simo.
