This RHEL Workstation 6.1 uses a University's Site License where the 
Campus had its own Local Cache, which adds an "Additional" Layer of 
"Remoteness" from the Days when this was an Individual License!!!

As you expected YUM Stops at the same place:

-------------------------------------------------------------
--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: gdal-1.7.2-1.el6.i686 (epel)
            Requires: libxerces-c-3.0.so
  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
  You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
