As you said disabling JPackage solves the problem, it appears to be a 
JPackage problem; it's happened before. For now, you can either put 
enabled=0 in a line under the appropriate heading in 
/etc/yum.repos.d/jpackage.repo, or just exclude geronimo-specs and 
geronimo-specs-compat in /etc/yum.conf (for now): exclude=geronimo-specs*
