yum install nfs-utils

End output.

This resolved the nfs-utils issue, but now when I run the Add Remove 
Software GUI, it reports:

End output.

Do I manually rm the files listed above?  Is there a yum erase command 
that I must issue, and if so, for which RPMs?

compat-libevent14-1.4.13-1.rhel6.i686 appears to be a mandatory 
dependency and automatic co-install with 
libevent-devel-2.0.19-1.rhel6.i686 -- can this co-install be overridden?
