A forum user has encountered a problem trying to install nspr-devel.

See
https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=30915&forum=3 7

The 5.6 versions look older than the 5.5 updates to yum. Attempting to
install using CentOS-Vault.repo [C5.5-updates] repo also fails.

Looks like tru_tru has noted the issue on #centos-qa.

fixed (wrong disttag for the 5.5/updates/nspr el5_5 instead of el5)
the 5.6/nspr got the disttag correctly set but el5< el5_5
(unchanged srpm from upstream).

5.5/updates/ -> 5.6/updates (plain copy/link)

Then "yum downgrade nspr" should do the trick of installing
newer/percived as older package.
