I've found the following procedure sometimes works when you run into a dependency problem. Download and install the updates a few at a time (or even one at a time) resolving as many dependencies as you can. Sooner or later you will run into the package that is causing the problem. Then check to see if you have multiple versions of the offending package on your system using rpm. Delete the version that is causing the problem. Mark Dr. Mark H.
