did some investigations # yum install amavisd-new Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-3.3 - Addons Server: ATrpms for rhel 3 stable Server: ATrpms for rhel 3 testing Server: CentOS-3.3 - Base Server: CentOS-3.3 - Extras Server: Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server: dries el3 repo Server: CentOS-3.3 - Extras Server: kde-redhat.org (kde-stable) Server: kde-redhat.org (kde-stable-all) Server: CentOS-3.3 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies ......Unable to satisfy dependencies Package amavisd-new needs perl(Digest::MD5) >= 2.22, this is not available. Package amavisd-new needs perl(Time::HiRes) >= 1.49, this is not available. perl-Time-HiRes is version 1.38 in the centos 3 repo. So this is normal it doesn't work. however I don't understand this bug: # yum install rpm Gathering header information file(s) from server(s) Server: CentOS-3.3 - Addons Server: ATrpms for rhel 3 stable Server: ATrpms for rhel 3 testing Server: CentOS-3.3 - Base Server: CentOS-3.3 - Extras Server: Dag RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server: dries el3 repo Server: CentOS-3.3 - Extras Server: kde-redhat.org (kde-stable) Server: kde-redhat.org (kde-stable-all) Server: CentOS-3.3 - Updates Finding updated packages Downloading needed headers Resolving dependencies .......Unable to satisfy dependencies Package rpm-libs needs rpm = 4.2.3-24_nonptl, this is not available. # rpm -q rpm rpm-4.2.3-10 # ls /var/cache/yum/base/headers/rpm-libs* /var/cache/yum/base/headers/rpm-libs-0-4.2.3-21_nonptl.i386.hdr /var/cache/yum/base/headers/rpm-libs-0-4.2.3-24_nonptl.i386.hdr I noticed lots of bugs in yum. This is really annoying.
