Only a the PHP packages came from a 3rd party, Everything else as far as I know comes from CentOS-Base.repo. I later removed the 3rd party PHP rpms (see log) and re-installed what was available from CentOS-Testing.repo

I never, ever directly use 3rd party repositories. Never
have had a problem. I even download mysql from mysql.com and
build it from source, even go so far as rebuilding php
to link against the newer mysql(in CentOS 4's case). No
problems.

Well. this is definitely good advice. But for the rest of us looking to use yum, you know, the default CentOS package management software, it seems a bit odd top to say "you shouldn't have used yum" when all the documentation I searched for led to it?
