When attempting to update openssl I got the following errror:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

But will a million more duplicate, I fixed it with a forloop. Probably not the neatest but it worked fine.

for rpm in $(yum update openssl 2>/dev/null | awk '/is a duplicate with/ {print $6}'); do rpm -e $rpm --nodeps; done

Just make sure that –nodeps is there or you will have a bad time!
