 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I am used to ubuntu where apt-get seems to work really well. I thought yum was supposed to be kind of similar. Shouldn't it just find and download the dependencies as well?

Answer 1

For what it's worth, I have a fresh CentOS 6.7 system (with a recent yum upgrade):

[root@b854039a02fe /]# cat /etc/centos-release 
CentOS release 6.7 (Final)

There is no python33 package in the default set of repositories:

[root@b854039a02fe /]# yum install python33
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Setting up Install Process
Determining fastest mirrors
 * base: mirror.atlanticmetro.net
 * extras: mirror.atlanticmetro.net
 * updates: ftp.usf.edu
No package python33 available.

There is apparently an SCL repository with python33, so:

[root@b854039a02fe /]# yum install centos-release-SCL

And then:

[root@b854039a02fe /]# yum install python33
[...]

Complete!

Maybe the particular repository mirror you were pointing at was incomplete. Consider running:

yum clean all

And then retrying.
