Thomas,

If you're doing an update from 5.2 to 5.3 you need to have both the base and 
the updates repo enabled. This is because there are some packages that were 
released as updates for 5.2 and they are newer than the packages in the 5.3 
base such as nss. They have been released as updates to 5.3.

Regards,

Tony
