I don't see why NetworkManager would require you to install or run DNS 
server (other than to bloat your machine further).  Oh well.

If you run "yum update", it will be able to resolve that "unresolvable 
chain of dependencies".  The other solution, which I did on my laptop, 
is to simply remove NetworkManager package, if you are not using it.
