For instance, $ rpm -q --provides kernel-2.6.7-1.494.2.2 kernel = 2.6.7 kernel-drm = 4.3.0 kernel = 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 so you can see that "iptables" wants "kernel >= 2.4.20" and should be happy with "kernel = 2.6.7", because 2.6.7 > 2.4.20. Same for the other errors you got, e.g. kernel-drm = 4.3.0 is needed by (installed) xorg-x11-6.7.0-5 Could be that your RPM database is damaged. Run through "rpm -Va" or verify individual packages. Maybe that will turn up something.
