You can avoid having to break dependencies by using yum shell (man yum-shell):

yum shell
> remove <package>
> install <package>
> run

It checks that all dependencies will be satisfied at the end before doing the
transaction. You can also put all your removes and installs in a single large
transaction to save time.
