ok. The errors you're seeing here are just upgrade errors from the
XFree86 to xorg-x11 packages. They're packaging problems - apt will do
the same thing. Also you have a completely mind boggling number of
repositories there. Mixing repositories that much is never a safe thing.

which means that the ibiblio mirror is not in sync - read the last line.
Use a different mirror. Or put multiple mirrors in your baseurl line so
yum can do it's automatic failover if one mirror doesn't have the data.
