The libcdio package.  It seems that you have an old vcdimager installed 
and it is not set to get updated.  However libcdio has moved up to 
libcdio.so.7, so now the old version of the library demanded by your old 
vcdimager will be missing if the update completes.

The problem for vcdimager anyway is not that it is getting updated, but 
that libs it relies on are getting updated and it isn't.  AFAICT.  So 
telling it not to update vcdimager had no effect.

Personally I would

rpm -e vcdimager xine

or

yum remove vcdimager xine

and try again.
