Can't upgrade HDF5 using yum on CentOS-5 because of Missing Dependency

Question

I'm having trouble upgrading hdf5 to 1.8.7 on CentOS-5. The error I get is below. I need to upgrade so I can install PyTables.

I think it's because my version of gdal doesn't support the newer version of hdf5. I need gdal for raster support with postGIS.

If upgrading isn't possible, is there any why to use PyTable with my current version of hdf5 (1.6.10)

Thanks Matt.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
