libsmbios-2.2.16-2.1.el5 from dell-omsa-indep repo breaks dependencies in Centos 5.3

[Frank Wang]

Hi All,
    One of our PE2950s with OMSA installed from the dell OMSA rpm repo
raised following error while 'yum update' after the Centos 5.3
upgrade.
...

Error: Missing Dependency: libsmbios = 2.1.0-1.1 is needed by package
smbios-utils-2.1.0-1.1.x86_64 (installed)

    Another PE2950 reported the same error during the Centos 5.3 upgrade.
I had to disable the dell repos to let it go on. Does anyone here meet
similar problem? Is it safe for me to temporarily exclude the
libsmbios package from updating?
    Thanks!
