CentOS - Dec 2008 - Bug - Error: Missing Dependency: libgaim.so.0 is needed by package nautilus-sendto

I have a minimal installation of CentOS, and I wanted to then install X 
Windows and the GNOME desktop.  I then tried the following, which failed 
on a dependency:

  $ yum -y groupinstall "X Window System" "GNOME Desktop
Environment"
 
  --> Running transaction check
  ---> Package nautilus-sendto.i386 0:0.7-5.fc6 set to be updated
  --> Processing Dependency: libgaim.so.0 for package: nautilus-sendto
  ---> Package opensp.i386 0:1.5.2-4 set to be updated
  --> Finished Dependency Resolution
  Error: Missing Dependency: libgaim.so.0 is needed by package 
nautilus-sendto

So GNOME appears to be missing some dependencies in the yum repository.  
I finally gave up and installed KDE, which installed flawlessly:

  $ yum -y groupinstall "X Window System" "KDE (K Desktop
Environment)"

I assume this is a bug with the GNOME packages (required dependency not 
found).  Is this a CentOS issue, or an "upstream" issue?

Thanks,
Kenneth

I forgot to note:

I am running CentOS 5.2

  $ uname -a
  Linux edirectory 2.6.18-92.1.18.el5 #1 SMP Wed Nov 12 09:30:27 EST 
2008 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

  $ yum whatprovides libgaim.so.0
  No Matches found

  $ yum -y update
  No Packages marked for Update

Upstream issue since 5.0 -
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=250403> has more
information.

For now do a yum --exclude=nautilus-sendto groupinstall "GNOME Desktop
Environment"

This will hopefully be fixed in 5.3
