Upgrade to RHEL 5.4 problems

Dear all,

this morning  I did a "yum update" and I was surprised to have more than
130 packages to upgrade an all my RHEL 5 machines. I had think that
the RHEL 5.4 was released. But I had some dependencies problems both
Desktop and Server releases.

Under Desktop I had to remove a lot of devel packages to be able to
update. After that I'm trying to install python-devel package but
without result:
 
Error: Missing Dependency: python = 2.4.3-24.el5_3.6 is needed by
package python-devel-2.4.3-24.el5_3.6.i386
(rhel-i386-client-workstation-5)

In fact the new python released is 2.4.3-27.

On the Server release I have: 
---> Package cpio.i386 0:2.6-23.el5 set to be updated
redhat-lsb-3.1-12.3.EL.i386 from installed has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: /bin/cpio is needed by package
redhat-lsb-3.1-12.3.EL.i386 (installed)


I'm not using beta channel. Is it a channels problem or it's a my
problem?
