Trouble Installing Git on CentOS
I'm having trouble installing Git on CentOS 5.5 x86_64. I'm not an expert at this type of thing, what's the problem?
root@server [/]# yum install git

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
Answer
Figured it out, it was because of cpanel.
This fixes it:
yum install git --disableexcludes=main
