I was starting to run a yum update on one of my servers and noticed that it wanted to install Thunderbird for some reason. Running yum with the '-v' option gave this output:

Why is it trying to get the python lib from Thunderbird when the Python package is already installed?
I don't really want Thunderbird installed on a server. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Please run 'yum clean all' and try again. That should take care of the problem (for now).

Yep. I thought about that right after I sent the email. 'yum clean all' fixed it for me.

There is a version of yum in the testing repo that we are working with that seems to fix many of these cache/spool issues. The version is:
yum-3.2.22-20.el5.centos.noarch.rpm

I just installed it, but everything's up-to-date. Soon as another update comes out, I'll report back.

Actually, "yum clean metadata" seems to be enough. I'm making it now a habit to run it before an update.
