Right, I meant, what mirror was offering this package from the metadata.
Yum uses _one_ mirror to get the metadata, which one was it ?

None of the mirrors are offering this package anymore, but somehow your
metadata thinks so. So, please clean your yum cache and see if that works.

The metadata definitely does not reference a perl-MIME-tools higher than
5.420 and if your yum thinks so, it is yum's problem (or a broken mirror).

Sadly no single soul to date was able to tell me which mirror is broken.
Everybody complains and a yum clean seems to fix things, but as long as
nobody does the investigative work, things will be the same.
