The issue here is that there is a installed package 'ImageMagick' the 
depends on 'libjasper-1.701.so.1'
The you running 'yum update' there is a package 'somepackage' there 
updates the 'libjasper' to another version og obsoletes it.
This can be done because it break the 'ImageMagick' dependency, it dont 
help to use '--exclude=ImageMagick' or '--exclude=libjasper'.
You have to use '--exclude=somepackage', because it is the package there 
introduce the issue.

Removing 'ImageMagick' also solves the issue.
