gkrellm must be in multiple repositories (FC2 & freshrpms) - the
dependencies are not correct - causing the conflict.

You might want to do the following to see what you have curernlty
instlaled and what the updates are:

rpm -q gkrellm gkrellm-wireless
yum check-update

<I wish yum had a -L option - so that it listed both old and new versions of pcakges>

You can do 2 things
  - get the updated gkrellm
  rpm -e gkrellm-wireless; yum update

  - ignore gkrellm and get other updates:
  yum --exclude=gkrellm* update
