CentOS - Mar 2006 - Missing Dependency problem while upgraing a pure (?) whitebox 4 install to Centos 4.2

Hi all

I don't have the full Centos 4 CD distro, only the minimal server one
(single CD). I use whitebox 4 for desktop installs and then change the
necessary files whitebox-release, diskdumputils, yum etc. & change it
to centos...never had a problem.

This time however, I don't know why, but I chose the "Everything"
option in the package selection dialog during install. Post
installation, I changed the server to centos, by changing the
appropriate files & installed postgreSQL 8.1 from local HDD using yum
localinstall option...it installed perfectly.

Then I gave a yum -y update command & went to sleep...& found the
errors below in the morning. I agree that it is not a centos
problem...but whitebox too is a RHEL derived OS and quite strict about
remaining with the upstream.

One doubt I have is that maybe I'm mistaken & the fresh install was
not a fresh install after all (done in the middle of night with
drooping eyes)...the earlier install on this system was centos 4.2
with centos extras & dag repo enabled and I may have chosen not to
format the system & keep data or maybe the upgrade method.

Can someone look at the files below & tell me these are from out of
centos 4.2 repo and confirm the above doubt (another prob is that the
rpm database should have been recreated on fresh install & there
should be an upgrade log file in my root from anaconda...not there)

Comments? Also, how do I downgrade packages using yum to get out of
this dependency hell? Can I do it with one yum command or do I have to
uninstall packages creating problems one by one?

Sanjay.
