Larry's pointing me to /var/log/yum.log was a
light bulb moment.

    The following fixed my problem:

You might also consider disabling SELinux, if the machine is behind
reasonable firewalls. SELinux has been a *disaster* in system
security, costing far more wasted productivity and engineering
resources than many of active worms or attack vectors of the Linux
world, most of which it does not really help with. (Bad PHP is bad
PHP, and SELinux does not necessarily help at all.)


You called that.  I had to turn selinux off ages ago as it
foo bars Samba.  Selinux is a good idea that never made it
to the practical phase.

And, I wrote/configured my own firewall: all things are illegal,
except those things that are legal.  It is really nasty.  You
want in or out, you have to have a rule.  Even troubleshoots
your network setup (won't work unless it sees what it wants).
