For this bug you need to fix:

  Missing dependencies:
  Package xen-devel requires xen-libs = 3.0.3-80.el5_3.3
  Package xen requires xen-libs = 3.0.3-80.el5_3.3

...by doing an install of those specific versions, then the upgrade will probably work.

 However from the dupes output it looks like you had a failed transaction at some point, so you should probably clean that up. You could try package-cleanup --cleandupes (assuming yum-complete-transaction can't help).
