Yum usually bombs out for any problem with repository  conflicts. Try 
disabling dries, then run yum to update the core and other co-operating 
repositories. For the dries repository, you could file bug reports at 
dries or add exclude="packagename" to the dries repo file.

The archives should be more specific on how to exclude packages for 
individual repositories and other programs such as "smart" which are 
intended to handle repo conflicts.
