It is usually safe to just add the EPEL repo to your yum configuration as
described here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#How_can_I_install_the_packages_from_the_EPEL_software_repository.3F
and then yum will sort out the dependencies itself. The EPEL policy is to
not replace/overwrite any upstream packages so it rarely causes any
conflicts, but if you are concerned about that, after installing the
epel-release package you can edit the /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo file and
set enabled=0. Then when you want something from there, add
--enablerepo=epel on the yum command line when you install or update
specific packages. Most other 3rd party repos are not as careful about
conflicts and are more dangerous to leave enabled for updates.
