CentOS - Feb 2008 - Dependency problem in heartbeat-ldirectord update for Centos 4.6

I've just been trying to do a "yum update" on a Centos 4.6 system,
and one
of the packages it wants to upgrade is heartbeat-ldirectord from 2.1.2-3
to 2.1.3-2

However, the newer version has dependency problems that can't be resolved:

Looking in Google, it appears that this problem has occurred before in
previous releases of CentOS 4, although heartbeat-ldirectord-2.1.2-3
doesn't have the problem.

Is this a bug in upstream too? How to fix?

Cheers

This has been reported in the CentOS bug tracker:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=2653

and I believe it's been fixed.
