CentOS - Mar 2010 - bogus error message from yum update for gmime and gmime-sharp

When I do "yum update gmime gmime-sharp" I get:

...
  --> Missing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos is needed by
package gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos.i386 (installed)
Error: Missing Dependency: gmime = 2.2.10-5.el5.centos is needed by
package gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos.i386 (installed)
...

But both of these are already installed:

# rpm -q gmime gmime-sharp
gmime-2.2.10-5.el5.centos
gmime-sharp-2.2.10-5.el5.centos

So:

# package-cleanup --problems
Setting up yum
Reading local RPM database
Processing all local requires
No problems found

Running the above "yum update ..." again yields the same bogus error
messages.  I've had problems with these two packages before.  Why can't
yum understand rpm for them?


Thanks for the wisdom.

I've done a 'yum clean' and then run 'yum update' and get
the same
result as above.  My hunch is that the problem is particular to these
two packages (gmime and gmime-sharp)... because I've had repeated
problems with just them.  Updating thirty-some other packages went smoothly.
