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
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

Please suggest me the commands to solve this dependency.

The problem is clearly stated:

--> Missing Dependency: perl(URI::URL) is needed by package 7:squid-2.6.STABLE21-3.el5.x86_64 (base)

Download and install perl-URI. This is for CentOS 5 so be sure to get the package for your distro.

wget ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/ftp.centos.org/5.2/os/\
x86_64/CentOS/perl-URI-1.35-3.noarch.rpm
rpm -ivh perl-URI-1.35-3.noarch.rpm
