CentOS - May 2009 - magic.mime dependency problem between file and httpd

Hi everyone! :-)

While doing a regular manual yum update on my ContOS 5.3 server, yum
complained as follows:

[root at sith ~]# yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * epel: ftp.icm.edu.pl
 * rpmforge: ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de
 * base: centosb2.centos.org

So what is wrong and why?

Best, :-)

We still don't know why, but yum clean metadata or yum clean all should fix
that problem.

Indeed, yum clean all && yum update did fix it. Thanks! :-)
