I'm having a real headache configuring a new server. It's a 64bit Linux box with Centos 6 and Plesk 11. This will be a Magento server, so I need mcrypt installed, which isn't available by default.
I've installed EPEL 6, confirmed here:
[root@ds-xxxxxxx ~]# yum repolist
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, priorities
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
* base: centos.mirroring.pulsant.co.uk
* epel: mirror.affix.me
* extras: centos.mirroring.pulsant.co.uk
* rpmforge: www.mirrorservice.org
* updates: centos.mirroring.pulsant.co.uk
repo id repo name status
base CentOS-6 - Base 6,346
epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - x86_64 7,070
extras CentOS-6 - Extras 4
rpmforge RHEL 6 - RPMforge.net - dag 4,392
updates CentOS-6 - Updates 165
repolist: 17,977
[root@xxxxxx ~]#
But when I run a yum update, it looks like it's trying to load el5 & el6 extensions/modules so causes an issue;
# yum update

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
