You can raise your head. I will address one possible issue, but I
doubt that it has anything to do with your problem. You should not
have both protect base and priorities installed.  Use priorities. It
is the newer and more powerful package.  Someone else will hopefully
jump in to give you their working repo file. Be sure to set different
priorities as suggested in the CentOS Wiki.  For example, I gave
RPMforge a much higher priority than EPEL.  73,
