I found that the yum-skip-broken was broken, so I did the following: (Only
add those modules you have)

sudo yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update yum \

yum-allowdowngrade \

yum-basearchonly \

yum-changelog \

yum-downloadonly \

yum-fastestmirror \

yum-fedorakmod \

yum-kernel-module \

yum-merge-conf \

yum-priorities \

yum-protect-packages \

yum-protectbase \

yum-refresh-updatesd \

yum-security \

yum-skip-broken \

yum-tsflags \

yum-updateonboot \

yum-updatesd \

yum-utils \

yumex

Then I did a

 sudo yum --skip-broken update

and it worked.
