 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Resolution

# yum remove gimp-help-browser

Root Cause

gimp-help-browser is moved to the Optional repository, therefore you need to uninstall gimp-help-browser before execute yum.

NOTE: To install gimp-help-browser, try to add optional channel to your repository :

  • For RHSM
# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-6-server-optional-rpms
  • For RHN CLASSIC
# rhn-channel --add --channel=rhel-x86_64-server-optional-6
