The error I got when I ran 'yum update' was: Error: Missing Dependency: nss = 3.12.2.0-2-el5.centos is needed by package nss-devel Maybe all the packages (nss) weren't available on the mirror at the time I ran the update. I see where nss-devel is 'set to be updated' but I don't see nss in the list. Thanks
