The version of nfs-utils already installed on your system was linked against libgssapi.so.1 Yum is proposing to update libgssapi to a version containing libgssapi.so.2, but can't do that because it would break your existing nfs-utils. There is a later version of nfs-utils in the updates repository that is built against libgssapi.so.2 and which would solve the problem, but due to a package naming error, it appears to yum and rpm as being older than the one you already have installed, and so yum doesn't consider using it. The problem has been fixed by releasing an nfs-utils update that appears "newer" to yum and rpm than any previous release.
