Here is a description from the Release Notes for CentOS 6.5: "There may be some i686 RPMs that are no longer available on the x86_64 media. If you have any of the following i686 RPMs installed on your x86_64 system, please remove the i686 RPMs before attempting to upgrade: dovecot-devel, evolution-mapi, evolution-mapi-devel, iscsi-initiator-utils, iscsi-initiator-utils-devel, openchange, openchange-devel, boost-*, python.i686." Just remove python.i686 and yum should work again. Akemi
