I took a look at this URL and there is no 'header' directory, thus no 
header files, for yum to read from. Yum needs the '.hdr' files to 
compare to the '.hdr' files in your '/var/cache/yum/.../.../ directories.

You could download the RPM from that site and *manually* install any 
dependencies <ouch>.

I tried to nose around there, but kept getting a "No such host" message.

I know that doesn't get you much closer to a yummable enlightenment, but 
that looks like what's going on there.
