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

What should I do to fix this? I tried to use --skip-broken, but it won't update. Thank you.

Answer 1

You have both Webtatic and Remi repositories configured, both provides the PHP stack. This can only raise various conflict issues.

As "remi-php56" is enabled try to install php-opcache and php-mysqlnd (instead of php56w-opcache and php56w-mysql).

PS packages in Remi's RPM repository try to facilitate upgrade from other 3rd party repostiory, but some helpers are missing, will be in next version (5.6.19, 7.0.4...)

Answer 2

Definitely don't run similar repos, it will only give you pain.

You can use the disablerepo command mentioned in the answer above, or manually edit the repos lists in /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo set enabled=0 to disable a repo.

EPEL repos are your best bet for mainstream supported builds
