There are a lot of differences - I'd guess they did a full yum update on the template between when they made the test machine, and what was used on the new system.

That being said, I have to admit to feeling as though the spacewalk Spacewalk team, in offering a package for CentOS 5.2, and *not* noting things that were needed for different versions of that, and yum not automagically determining the dependencies - I remember the full d/l for spacewalk was something like 267 packages - leaves me at the point of wondering if I need to build from source, and not trusting a binary release.
