Indeed! Many thanks.
It hasn't helped yet but it will as soon as I get the yum-priorities 
straight.  I'm pretty skiddish -- if not downright paranoid -- about 
repo mixing and I'm using all due caution before allowing yum to replace 
my existing lm_sensors-2.10.7-9.el5.i386 with the pre-requisite
lm_sensors-2.10.8-2.el5.elrepo.i386.rpm.

Thanks again to you and to Yves, who also responded.
