hello list!!

 I'm having a curious issue.. if I type yum update -y the system
complains of a PyYAML dependency:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
PyYAML-3.08-4.el5.x86_64 from installed has depsolving problems
  --> Missing Dependency: libyaml-0.so.1()(64bit) is needed by package
PyYAML-3.08-4.el5.x86_64 (installed)
Error: Missing Dependency: libyaml-0.so.1()(64bit) is needed by
package PyYAML-3.08-4.el5.x86_64 (installed)
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest


if I do yum whatprovides "*/libyaml-0.so.1" this is what I get back:

but it looks like /usr/lib64/libyaml-0.so.1 is already installed on this system.

[root at VIRTCENT14:~] #ls -l /usr/lib64/libyaml-0.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Dec 19 22:46 /usr/lib64/libyaml-0.so.1 ->
libyaml-0.so.1.1.0


So what's yum complaining about here, and may I have some advice on
how to correct this error?

thanks CentOS list! You have a history of awesomeness which I respect.
