I like that command. Informative.

My email client wrapped the rightmost field of some of the output above,
but it's still discernible that epel wants to update to a newer version
of gmime, but (as you said) has no corresponding version of gmime-sharp.
Conceivably, this could be the problem. The versions I have of gmime
and gmime-sharp seem to be from a different repo:
# rpm -qi gmime gmime-sharp|grep URL
URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/
URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/
and so this might be a contributing issue. So I deleted these two
packages (rpm -e ...) and then did "yum install" on them... which took
them from the "extras" repo, which seems to have gotten them from
sourceforge:
# rpm -qi gmime gmime-sharp|grep URL
URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/
URL : http://spruce.sourceforge.net/gmime/
(So this wouldn't seem to be a case of conflicting repos.)
Now, doing "yum update" again brought me back to the original problem.
:( But at least we have more clarity to it: the extras repo doesn't
have a version update to gmime-sharp, a dependency for the update of
gmime.
So.. what's the next thing to do? Just wait for an upgrade for
gmime-sharp? Why does the extras repo not have it if it's a dependency?
Perhaps it's still coming (?). Or... has anyone else (somehow) been
able to upgrade to gmime v. 2.2.25-1.el5 ?? (How?)
Thanks, people. I appreciate your efforts.
