Install PEAR Mail/Mime Dependency issues in pure EPEL installation

Newbie in the sysadm area. Using Centos 6.2.

I am trying to install PEAR's Mime.php. I have successfully installed PEAR's Mail before. It's not going to well now for Mime.php.

This is what I do:

yum install php-pear-Mail-Mime

Gives dependency issues:

php-mbstring requires the remi package for php-common it seems. I did try to update it:

yum --enablerepo=remi update php-common

But got:

No Packages marked for Update

And by mistake I did an install first and this is what I got:

Package php-common-5.3.10-2.el6.remi.i686 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

UPDATE: Checking my epel points to 6.5, I'm using Centos 6.2. Can this be a problem? (Aftermatch: This was not a problem)

rpm -qa | grep epel
epel-release-6-5.noarch
