[CentOS-es] YUM roto. No se puede instalar/actualizar nada

[Gerardo Barajas]

Estimados de la lista.
Sucede que recien obtuve un servidor virtual con las siguientes
características.

Linux neo-center 2.6.22.18-grsec2.1.11-vs2.2.0.6 #2 SMP Tue Feb 12 04:18:41
CST 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


Ahora bien, intenté buscar/instalar algo vía yum, y esto es lo que obtengo:

[root en neo-center ~]# yum search php-mysql

¿Alguna idea?
Lei por ahi que ejecutando "yum clean all", podría mejorar el asunto, pero
no.

Saludos/Regards
