This is a repository problem with 'vlc' (whichever repo it came from)

There is a new version of libdvdnav - but 'vlc' which is currently
installed (from the same repository?) depends on the old libdvdnav
currently installed. (so the new libdvdnav package breaks this
dependency)

The solution is to have an updated vnc build with the updated libdvdnav

If you don't care for the new libdvdnav - just do:

yum --exclude=libdvdnav update
