I am trying to update a host from 5.2 to 5.3 via yum in sections (yum update a* b* etc.). I am seeing this error very frequently:

I tried to update python on its own but this happens when I try:

I have completed moving to 5.3 on two other hosts, one with a single java package error as previously reported. What is happening here? How do I fix it? I do not recall adding python packages to this host from other repositories, but it is possible that I did at some point.
I have checked the release notes and the updates repo is enabled. All third-party repos are disabled.
Help?
