EPEL is only providing *extra* packages for RHEL/CentOS. You still need to have the base and updates channels configured. If you don't want to renew your RHN subscription, my choice would be to make it into a CentOS 5 machine (binary compatible with RHEL). You'd need to install the centos-release package instead of the redhat-release one: i386: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.4/os/i386/CentOS/centos-release-5-4.el5= .centos.1.i386.rpm x86_64: http://mirror.centos.org/centos-5/5.4/os/x86_64/CentOS/centos-release-5-4.e= l5.centos.1.x86_64.rpm That should enable the CentOS base and updates repositories. Subsequent runs of yum update will get their packages from the CentOS repositories. But this project is going out of the CouchDB scope now, so you might want to take this off-list to a CentOS forum or something. Be sure you know what you're doing if this is a production server.
