CentOS - Dec 2007 - possible bug 5.1 - possibly more of a package issue

Hi there, not really sure if this is a bug, but more so rather a missing file...

I installed a fresh 5.1 copy very minimal - no desktop, etc. Now it
came up later that I would need a desktop on this install. So I was
going to just groupinstall in the Gnome Desktop.

# yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"

Now while processing the dependencies, it fails out with a dependency
for libgaim.so.0 (for package nautilus-sendto). So I tried...

# yum provides libgaim.so.0

No results.

Ideas?

My 5.0 DVD and 5.1 iso image show the packages gaim.i386 and gaim-
devel.i386 provide this. They are beta-2:2.0.0* versions.

command was

    yum --whatprovides libgaim.so.0

CORRECTION, not "--whatprovides". Drop the dashes.

In fact, this is a known upstream issue.  Please see:
