This is yum's behavior, because you have these packages
installed on
your system.  Try it with an --exclude mysq*,postgres*  and
it'll work
just fine. You can get around this by using an includepkg or
exclude
statement in the repository config file as documented in the
wiki
entry centosplus http:/
/wiki.centos.org/Repositories/CentOSPlus

Because php is built against libcurl (provided by curl), for
some of
the curl functions available within php.

They have been known to do this if someone sends them a

Or, why the command-line client isn't in a separate package
from libcurl....
