But your _answer_ mentioned python-numpy NOT python-numeric:

But the sl5 repo contains numpy - and it seems to be newer than the 
version in python-numpy anyway.

The sl5 numpy package is a newer version so should be preferred but the 
name isn't the same.

What does:

   rpm -q --whatrequires python-numpy

report on your machines?

If you can't remove these (obsolete) packages from your repos then the 
package clashes will

Troy, should the sl5 numpy package provide a python-numpy feature and 
obsolete/conflict python-numpy to avoid this problem for people who have 
this dag version present in their active repos? (or perhaps ask dag to 
remove python-numpy)
