nope - I just made a query, and the issue is still there but with a
different RPM name:

$ cd  /triumfcs/mirror/scientificlinux.org/6.5/x86_64/os/Packages
$ rpm -qp *.rpm --qf='[%{NAME} %{PROVIDES}\n]' |grep libotf.so.
compat-openmpi libotf.so.0
compat-openmpi libotf.so.0()(64bit)
compat-openmpi-psm libotf.so.0()(64bit)
libotf libotf.so.0
libotf libotf.so.0()(64bit)

So I guess whether you trip on this depends on what you are trying
to pull in with an installation.

cheers, etc.
