And there is your problem:

Your box is tied into a whole bunch of unsupported YUM repositories:

- Webmin
- epel
- openwebmail

The swatch you got there is probably an RPM with an identical name (and
different purpose) from one of the other YUM repositories. Most likely
it's from epel.

Go into /etc/yum.repos.d/ and remove the epel YUM repository config
file. Then remove swatch again and install it again with the procedure I
gave you before.

Please do not tie your server into unsupported third party YUM
repositories. It WILL break things during YUM updates.
