I tried
yum clean all
, etc. Nothing seemed to be working so asked here.
Orion's answer,

yum shell

  worked and all is well now. Then I noticed the "1"

My habit is to check for updates almost everyday using
yum upgrade
Everything had been fine until a week ago or so when libbluray seemed to 
fail.
I just used
yum upgrade --skip-broken
for awhile but it began to bug me that I didn't understand how I got 
here or how to fix it.
I couldn't see the difference between libbluray and libbluray1. I 
checked and libbluray1 came from atrpms.
I guess I jmust have done
yum install libbluray
at some point and it picked up both libbluray and libbluray1 and I never 
noticed.
