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.

you have RpmForge installed on a centOS5 install
that repo is incompatible with just about EVERY other repo on 5
if using rpmforge on RHEL / CentOS/ SL 5 you ONLY yes ONLY use rf and do not even use the cent updates( it is incompatible with that )
mostly fixed for cent6

or
you VERY VERY VERY VERY carefully use just a few programs from RF and " PRAY " you do not mess up the install

it looks like you did NOT install and configure the VERY recommended ( one might say REQUIRED ) yum plugin " yum-priorities"
PLEASE read , then REREAD the cent wiki page on third party repos
and HEED ALL AND EVERY WARNING
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories
remove every ".rf" rpm
install yum-priorities
CONFIGURE IT !!!!!!
http://wiki.centos.org/PackageManagement/Yum/Priorities
then reinstall "gmime" and / or any other rpm you had to uninstall

for a list of installed rpmforge rpms run this -- hopefully it will be a short list
Code:
su -
rpm -qa | grep rf 
-------- for a text file  output run this-------
rpm -qa | grep rf > ~/rf_list.txt
