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.
I have tried running package-cleanup --dupes and package-cleanup --problems but to no avail.
Sounds like dbus-libs.i386 and nash.i386 are installed. Remove them.
