The error I got when I ran 'yum update' was:

Yes, that will do it - devel packages do need to be the same EVR. Sounds like you figured it out.
I have exactly the same problem. No nss-devel is installed currently. But yum update always gives the below message:
... Package nss-devel.i386 0:3.12.2.0-2.el5.centos set to be updated ... nss = 3.12.2.0-2.el5.centos is needed by package nss-devel ...
I can't install nss-devel either due to the very same error.
Sorry Michael, I still haven't figured it out. No clue at all.
Sounds like something in your upgrade requires nss-devel but an nss-devel to match the updates nss isn't in the repo, so the update finds the wrong nss-devel.
What happens when you comment out the mirror list and uncomment the baseurl for both base and updates?
There is strangeness about. First thing this morning, I see the chatter about updates and after a bit did a "yum check-update". Nothing listed. I waited and tried, waited and tried, finally moved /var/cache/yum out of the way and did the check-update again, allowing the cache to rebuild. This time, I got files listed, did a "yum update" and got
Install 12 Package(s) Update 322 Package(s) Remove 2 Package(s)
Total download size: 579 M Is this ok [y/N]: n
but had already grown wary and refused the update. Later, I decided to do a download only "yum update --downloadonly --downloaddir=/home/rj/download/c53" and it bombed with the nss dependency msg that others have seen. I DO have base and update repos enabled. It appears that the nss and/or nss-devel packages must be playing peek-a-boo somehow. Is it possible that one of the mirrors is short a package or maybe has a bad copy?
