It is an unfortunate 'feature' of trying (on some level) to be
MS-Windows-ish: providing a GUI interface (of sorts) to openssh. 
'openssh-askpass' is a GUI thinging for asking for a password for
slogin/ssh/scp/etc.  If you don't need openssh-askpass, then you should
not install it.  You can either edit your yum.conf file to exclude it or
instead of:

do:

yum install openssh openssh-clients openssh-server openssl
