yum update problem

Hello all,

I've been getting the following dependency error when using "yum update"
the last couple of days on a G3 running FC5:  

Error: Missing Dependency: librpcsecgss.so.1 is needed by package
nfs-utils
Error: Missing Dependency: libgssapi.so.1 is needed by package nfs-utils

I tried:

rpm --rebuilddb
yum clean all
yum update

But it did not make a difference.  The system was last updated
successfully about a week ago (25 June 2006).  Any idea how to get
around this problem?  Perhaps my concept of yum as a self-sufficient
dependency solver is naive and I've been lucky: so far yum has never
failed me.

Best regards,
Mike Hammill
