The problem is, that it appears that it's the fontconfig.i386 it 
attempts to install as part of the xorg-x11-deprecated-libs installation.

[root at machine ~]# yum erase fontconfig.i386
Setting up Remove Process
No Packages marked for removal

Also, is it not strange that both the i386 and x86_64 packages get 
picked for installation:

--> Populating transaction set with selected packages. Please wait.
---> Package xorg-x11-deprecated-libs.i386 0:6.8.2-1.EL.13.16 set to be 
updated
---> Package xorg-x11-deprecated-libs.x86_64 0:6.8.2-1.EL.13.16 set to 
be update
