Where are you getting an "old" version of dbus? They are both the same in the x86_64 directory x86_64/SL/dbus-1.1.2-12.el5.i386.rpm x86_64/SL/dbus-1.1.2-12.el5.x86_64.rpm x86_64/SL/dbus-devel-1.1.2-12.el5.i386.rpm x86_64/SL/dbus-devel-1.1.2-12.el5.x86_64.rpm x86_64/SL/dbus-glib-0.73-8.el5.i386.rpm x86_64/SL/dbus-glib-0.73-8.el5.x86_64.rpm x86_64/SL/dbus-glib-devel-0.73-8.el5.i386.rpm x86_64/SL/dbus-glib-devel-0.73-8.el5.x86_64.rpm x86_64/SL/dbus-libs-1.1.2-12.el5.i386.rpm x86_64/SL/dbus-libs-1.1.2-12.el5.x86_64.rpm The installer doesn't just find some random old version of dbus from somewhere.
