The latest official FC2 updates for the PHP packages are release 
4.3.10-2.4, whereas Igor has at least a couple of packages downloaded in 
his yum cache that are built against 4.3.8-2.1, but not the php 
4.3.8-2.1 package itself. Clearing out the cache will probably get rid 
of these intermediate updates and enable yum to work properly again.

Adding an extra repo with even more up to date releases probably won't help.
