Hello all.
I'm using RHEL 6.5 Workstation and have a single RHEL system connected to the internet do download rpms based on Security Notices from Red Hat. While on the RHEL system and internet I perform the below:
yum install --downloadonly --resolve --downloaddir=<directory> <package>
My goal is to ensure I capture any dependencies (which is a nightmare)and thus I use the --resolve. When I update my RHEL systems not connected to the internet I perform a yum update. For some yum updates it's goes pretty smooth but for others I'm constantly getting errors about conflicts or other similar errors. An example of when yum updates don't work can be seen below:

Is there something I'm not doing correctly? Again some work and some do not, as seen above the example where it does not work. Is this a larger problem? Although I'm using RHEL 6.5 on the system where I obtain my security updates are my RHEL 6.5 systems which are not connected to the internet so different (in regards to what files are installed) that dependencies differ greatly and I'm not fully appreciating the environment for my off-line systems?
A million thanks in advance,
