Hi all. Thanks for reading and replying.

These don't have the latest versions of PHP5, the repo I am using is  
"Jason's Utter Ramblings Repo" @ www.jasonlitka.com and the only  
files I pulled from it are:

php.i386  5.2.6-jason.1
php-bcmath.i386  5.2.6-jason.1
php-cli.i386  5.2.6-jason.1
php-common.i386   5.2.6-jason.1
php-gd.i386  5.2.6-jason.1
php-mbstring.i386  5.2.6-jason.1
php-mysql.i386  5.2.6-jason.1
php-pdo.i386  5.2.6-jason.1
php-pgsql.i386   5.2.6-jason.1

Results are as expected:

$ rpm -q mysql mysql-server python
mysql-5.0.45-7.el5
mysql-server-5.0.45-7.el5
python-2.4.3-21.el5

$ yum list installed
mysql.i386  5.0.45-7.el5
mysql-server.i386  5.0.45-7.el5
python.i386  2.4.3-21.el5


I'll re-iterate for good measure:  `yum list php` doesn't work if  
mysqld is turned on. If I do `/etc/init.d/mysqld stop` (or `services  
mysqld stop`), `yum list php` works fine. So it's only failing when  
mysqld is turned on. (?!) And only on some commands. For example `yum  
list installed` works all the time.

Here's the full error:

]$ yum list php

Other than installing packages using yum, and modified /etc/services  
and removed /etc/rpc for security reasons, nothing much has been done  
with this system. I'm at a loss to understand why it doesn't work  
when mysqld is turned on.

Any other ideas?
