Following the advise on Using Awesome window manager on CentOS 7, I installed the fedora 19 repository so I could get Awesome working on CentOS7. However, when I run yum update, I am getting this error:

Error: Package: brlapi-0.6.0-5.fc19.i686 (fedora)
           Requires: brltty = 4.5-5.fc19
           Installed: brltty-4.5-8.el7.x86_64 (@anaconda)
               brltty = 4.5-8.el7
           Available: brltty-4.5-5.fc19.x86_64 (fedora)
               brltty = 4.5-5.fc19
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Some more information:

; sudo yum list installed | grep  brl     
127:brlapi.x86_64                          0.6.0-8.el7                     @anaconda
128:brltty.x86_64                          4.5-8.el7                       @anaconda
1254:python-brlapi.x86_64                  0.6.0-8.el7                    @anaconda

Clearly, the two repositories are in conflict: How to solve this problem?

YUM tries to install:

brlapi-0.6.0-5.fc19.i686 (fedora)

from @Fedorra repo:

Available: brltty-4.5-5.fc19.x86_64 (fedora)

Althought there is already installed one:

Installed: brltty-4.5-8.el7.x86_64 (@anaconda)

from @anaconda repo.

You can try update with disabled repo @fedora:

yum update --disablerepo="fedora"

Or install package yum-plugin-priorities (in fact - you MUST use it, and I'm surprised - why it is still not in default YUM installation):

yum install yum-plugin-priorities

And then set ptiorities in each repo config:

# grep -r "priority=" /etc/yum.repos.d/
/etc/yum.repos.d/gf.repo:priority=20
/etc/yum.repos.d/MariaDB.repo:priority=1
/etc/yum.repos.d/epel-testing.repo:priority=20
/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo:priority=20
/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo:priority=20

For example:

# head /etc/yum.repos.d/gf.repo
[gf]
name=Ghettoforge packages that won't overwrite core distro packages.
baseurl=http://mirror.symnds.com/distributions/gf/el/6/gf/$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-gf.el6
failovermethod=priority
priority=20
