Yum confilicts on Centos 7

Hi,
I noticed a problem when I tried to perform an ‘yum update’ on a Centos 7 box where the xtrabackup is installed via its official repo.

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

Anyone else with this problem? How can I perform the update in a safely manner?

Thank you.

I had absolutely the same problem.Anyway, I was installing on empty machine, not updating.
I did that way: I took conflicting package, and installed it separately: (yum install Percona-Server-shared-compat-57) It replaced some mariadb-libs.
After that, I was able to install everything without conflicts.
I believe upgrading packages individually is safe.
