Are you still seeing the error?

I just checked on one of my servers that is still running 4.2 and it resolved
the dependancies correctly.

If it is still broken, here is a couple things to try/check:

   1) Cleaning out yum's cache & retry the update:

            yum clean all
            yum update

   2) Check to see if the K12LTSP repository file has been modified:

            rpm -Vf /etc/yum.repos.d/k12ltsp.repo

      This command will have no output if none of these files have
      been modified.


   3) Post the contents of your /etc/yum.repos.d/k12ltsp.repo file

   4) And if all else fails & you don't use epiphany...

           rpm -e epiphany
