This should be put in the FAQ, I think.  It's popped up SO many times
in the last few weeks.

The NM people stopped putting the 32-bit libraries and such in the
64-bit repository.  Your easiest fix is:

	yum remove NetworkManager.i386
	yum update NetworkManager

The first command may want to kill off parts of Evolution, but only the
32-bit pieces (which you aren't using anyway).  Why Evolution is
dependent on NM is beyond me (other than it needs network stuff, but
that shouldn't be dependent on NM...just on a NIC with an IP or even
localhost).

Of course, the NM people should fix their distribution policy, but...
(frequent viewers of the list know my feelings about NM)
