I am trying to install mcrypt for PHP 5 on CentOS 6. I have the EPEL repository all set up, but whenever I try to install it, I get the following.
yum --enablerepo=epel install php-mcrypt

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I saw it requires php-api, so I tried updating that, but it says it's already all up to date.
I have the EPEL repository all set up...
Except you don't, because it's trying to install the EL5 package on your EL6 system. Verify your EPEL installation and try again.
