Thanks again for your help!!!
is it possible that you have extras set at a different priority than base ... you also have the protectbase installed along with priorities (not recommended).

You should have these settings for [extras], [base] and [updates] sections in CentOS-Base.repo:

priority=1
protect=1

You should also (after properly configuring your repo files), use yum-priorities and remove yum-protectbase.

Johnny,
That fixed the problem. I had the Extras as set to a priority of 2. I
also disabled protectbase.  Can you comment about the use "protectbase"
When should it be used?

Thank you much for your help!!!

Protectbase is basically priorities with only 2 options ... 1 and 0

Priorities is the same thing with 1 to 99 as options

So, if you need more control than protected and unprotected, then you want to use priorities.

Here is more info on each:
