The packages listed above need to be downgraded/replaced with the ones on the CDs so that the package group on the CDs can be installed using system-config-package. Any additional conficts need the downgrade/replacement routine. If the OP has the disk space my advice is to A) create a local repository for all packages on the CDs; B) install smart; and C) use smart-gui to downgrade conficting packages, install new package group(s), and bring system up to date.
