Packages in Extras don't have dependencies on anything outside Core or Extras (that's the idea, anyway). It's possible that you have repos enabled that have replacement versions of some Core or Extras packages required by rssowl, which don't provide quite the same list of things as the "official" packages. Try disabling all non-"official" repos and then try the "yum install rssowl" again. A "yum install rssowl" here doesn't try to pull in dom4j at all. Paul.
