You could try using –skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup –problems
package-cleanup –dupes
rpm -Va –nofiles –nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.

 

You have to install mysql-libs, and that will solve the dependency issues. Follow the steps given below.

wget -q -O - atomicorp.com/installers/atomic | sh
yum install mysql-libs
yum install postfix

 

That will resolve the issues.
