Based on the answer to a similar question (CentOS) I have installed the jPackage .repo file and attempted sudo yum install tomcat6
. I am met with the following error messages:

I found a site stating that perhaps installing rpm-build
was the solution to all my problems, but that was not the case – it's already installed.
I'd prefer to keep the package managed by a package manager (yum). Any experience with getting this to work?
The RHN packages only include Tomcat5. For reference this is RHEL 5.5 on Rackspace servers, to be used with Django/Solr/Haystack for site search. Moving from previous hosting on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS where the site was hosting/built with Tomcat6.
