 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

Hello dreampuf,

Thanks for taking the time to report this issue. IUS only support the base release, which is currently 5.11. On a new 5.11 server, I am unable to reproduce this issues:

***
# cat /etc/issue
CentOS release 5.11 (Final)

# yum install python27-virtualenv

Unless you have extended support from Red Hat, 5.9 is EOL.

You will either need to upgrade the OS or install an older version of python27 from the archive repos.
