Just to verify it works I tried installing to a chroot environment[1] as I don't have access to an EL system. The only thing I can think of is somehow your yum data was out of date or something like that.
The only thing I can think of is to try: # yum clean all It's pretty radical but non-destructive. It just means yum has to re-download all the yum metadata from all of your repositories.
