Looks like you have a conflict between your jpackage repository and SL 5.3.

# rpm -qf /usr/bin/rebuild-security-providers
jpackage-utils-1.7.3-1jpp.2.el5.noarch
# yum list jpackage-utils
...
Installed Packages
jpackage-utils.noarch    1.7.3-1jpp.2.el5     installed
Available Packages
jpackage-utils.noarch    5.0.0-1.jpp5         jpackage5-generic
#

So you have to decide if jpackage-utils version 5.0.0 is more important 
than the things that depend on it.
I can't answer that question, that is up to you.
