First of all, let me state that this is not a forum or any sort of medium where to get help, I recommend using proper Fedora mailing list for that. That being said, the error you encountered is not a bug in yum, it is just a report of a problem. Files in the package in question are conflicting with files in another package, namely xorg-x11-drv-nvidia. Uninstalling that package should solve the original problem.
