Hi Connie, Troy et al.,

I just noticed that SL5 has numpy version 1.0.4-1, whereas EPEL's numpy 
is now at 1.2.1-2.el5. EPEL also has a version of matplotlib that 
requires features of the newer numpy (numpy.ma), but without having a 
proper version in the rpm requirement.

This gives problems on all nodes that use protectbase, since they will 
not update the version of numpy coming from SL5.

Can you provide a newer numpy version in SL to fix this problem? I guess 
using the epel version would be a good move.

Cheers,

Matthias
