Only a the PHP packages came from a 3rd party, Everything else as far  
as I know comes from CentOS-Base.repo. I later removed the 3rd party  
PHP rpms (see log) and re-installed what was available from CentOS- 
Testing.repo

Well. this is definitely good advice. But for the rest of us looking  
to use yum, you know, the default CentOS package management software,  
it seems a bit odd top to say "you shouldn't have used yum" when all  
the documentation I searched for led to it?
