Question

I'm trying to install memcached on Centos 5.4 with:
# yum install memcached
What I get is:
[root#domU-12-31-39-02-75-A8 ~]# yum -y install memcached

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
How can I install memcached?
Thanks, Alex A.

You need to install it manually or change your yum repo:
wget ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/dag/redhat/el5/en/x86_64/testing/RPMS/libevent-1.3b-1.el5.test.x86_64.rpm
wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/memcached/memcached-1.2.6-1.el3.rf.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh libevent-1.3b-1.el5.test.x86_64.rpm
rpm -ivh memcached-1.2.6-1.el3.rf.x86_64.rpm
Note, that this is an older version of memcached
