Going through the two errors - Error: Protected multilib versions: freetype-2.3.11-6.el6_0.2.i686 != freetype-2.3.11-6.el6_1.6.x86_64 Error: Protected multilib versions: krb5-libs-1.9-9.el6.i686 != krb5-libs-1.9-9.el6_1.1.x86_64 Looking in detail, it appears that yum is trying to pull down the SL 6.0 versions of those packages for i686 (instead of the SL 6.1 packages), which is causing problems. Can you try pointing yum at the SL 6.1 i686 repository? A quick RPM search indicates that both freetype-2.3.11-6.el6_1.6.i686 and krb5-libs-1.9-9.el6_1.1.i686 RPMs exist.
