Assuming you have name resolution, to resolve this, get the RPM directly. This is the download for CentOS v5.5:

 wget ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/centos/5.8/os/x86_64/CentOS/strace-4.5.18-5.el5_5.5.x86_64.rpm

 rpm -i strace-4.5.18-5.el5_5.5.x86_64.rpm

Check Google to find your specific OS RPM version
