Yum not working on RHEL4

[wwwwizard]

Hi,

Ultimately, my goal is to get php5 running on RHEL4 under plesk 9.5.3.

I'm attempting to follow these instructions: http://www.nurelm.com/themanual/2009/07 ... e-linux-4/

I have installed yum
wget -q -O - http://www.atomicorp.com/installers/atomic | sh

I did NOT convert to CentOS, since this is a licensed install of RHEL4.

Now, I am attempting:
yum --exclude=php-domxml upgrade

But I'm getting the following. Can you help?

[root@rhbig00 xfer]# yum --exclude=php-domxml upgrade

Resolved, by

yum clean all
yum clean metadata

...in that order, and yes had to run both.

Yeah yum is ugly sometimes, I've had to delete the entire cache sometimes (rm -rf /var/cache/yum).
