The newer version of gmime is coming from the epel repo, which doesn't appear to package gmime-sharp.
....
# rpm -qi gmime gmime-sharp|grep URL URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/ URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/
The URL file generally just describes where the original source comes from, not what repo is being used. A better indicator of repo would be the Vendor, Packager, or Build Host fields.
Understood. Using "rpm -qi", the "Vendor" field shows just "CentOS", the "Build Host" reads simply "builder6", and there is no "Packager" field. I tried using the "--queryformat" option a few different way to output the packager, but no luck. That would be a big help in figuring out this kind of situation.

That is interesting. Did your yum install command specify to install gmime-sharp?
Yes, it's needed by tomboy, an applet I use.
....
So.. what's the next thing to do?
Either exclude gmime from the epel repo
Would that be simply "exclude=gmime*" in epel.repo ?
or ask epel to package gmime-sharp.
I've got no juice there, wouldn't even know who to contact.
Thanks to everyone for the really good help.
