but it not fit scipy dependencies.

Removeing python-numpy removes scipy and pyfits

python-numeric still installed:

# rpm -qa|grep python-numeric
python-numeric-23.7-2.2.2.x86_64

(I remove scipy too)

install scipy again

Seems that comes from dag:
python-numpy.x86_64 1.0.1-1.el5.rf dag

http://linuxsoft.cern.ch/dag/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/RPMS.dag/python-numpy-1.0.1-1.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm

*we use local repo replica, but the package is in official dag repo.


Thanks for your rpely,
