Thanks for the report.

This seems weird to me, and I suspect there's something wrong with your repository setup, since the package is indeed present in the repository metadata [1].

[1] ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/repodata/primary.xml.gz

Could you please increase the debug level, and attache the whole yum output here unless you'll see some obvious problem there? Please do the following:

yum -d8 install java-1.6.0-openjdk 2>&1 |tee yum.log

And attach the yum.log file.

Comment 3 Lubomir Rintel 2008-12-24 11:41:06 UTC 
To me it seems like you have no repositories configured at all, which seems strange. What comes to my mind is:

0.) Do "yum repolist" to find out if you see the repositories.

1.) Do installations of other EPEL packages work? Please try.

2.) Did you do any changes to /etc/yum.conf or /etc/yum.repos.d/epel* files?
If so, please attach the files you find relevant.

Hint: "rpm -V epel-release" will reveal which files changed.

3.) Probably some yum plugin messes it up? --noplugins

4.) Maybe some corrupted repository metadata is cached. You may want to clean it up runnning "yum clean all"

5.) Merry christmas! :)
