In particular, yum will complain if an upgrade would cause a package to disappear that some other package thinks it needs. So the problem isn't that you don't have xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-31, say. The problem is that what you're asking yum to do would remove it for some reason or other, probably because yum's trying to upgrade it.
In this case, my guess is that yum is trying to upgrade some packages that cause dependency errors elsewhere. Here's what I would try. First, run #yum check-upgrade and perhaps then #yum check-upgrade and make sure your system is otherwise up-to-date. When that's done, try re-installing lyx-qt again. Richard
