Mail the repo admins in accordance with the EPEL FAQ in the Wiki and request removal of the 1.1.6 package. (it is enough to delete the src.rpm and let repoprune kill the various binaries)
ok. sent mail to EPEL signers group. :)
Hmmm. Is it wise to remove it? If I understood the discussion correctly then users that already have the currently newest version of python-imaging in EPEL4 installed will never get a update should there ever be released one with a EVRN lower then (none):1.1.6-3.el4.
On the other hand: we cannot increase the epoch only in EPEL4 because then the upgrade path to RHEL5 is broken (still/again).
Which of the two things is worse?
