Since this is a devel package, the easiest thing you can do to make your
upgrade go smoothly is to simply remove it with yum remove.  In fact, this
generally goes for everything -- if a package is giving you a problem,
remove it (assuming it isn't required by too many other essential things).
Once the upgrade is done, you can put them back.
