That's a bad habit. Truncating Yum output often kills the interesting
details, such as information about repositories, updates/upgrades and
packages that might try to replace other packages.

The first thing I would do in such a case, is to run
rpm --query --whatprovides libass.so.3
to see whether your installed packages do provide this library.
If so, I would run
repoquery --whatprovides libass.so.3
repoquery --whatobsoletes libass
if packages in the repository still provide that library.
Perhaps something obsoletes the "libass" package.

And then the full output of another "yum update" is much shorter,
isn't it? What did you get when trying it again?
