Answer : Yum problem

Hi

try to install the yum-metadata-parser rpm  you can find it here

ftp://ftp.muug.mb.ca/mirror/centos/5.5/os/x86_64/CentOS/yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-3.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm

you can install it using

rpm -Uvh  yum-metadata-parser-1.1.2-3.el5.centos.x86_64.rpm

and then run

yum clean all
yum groupinstall "gnome-desktop"

try to remove any unnecessary repos , just keep centos base repos

hope it works :)
