Cannot update kernel through yum

Hello, I've been searching with no luck about this.

I have a WHM/cPanel VPS and I received an email indicating that my kernel is out of date:

The system kernel is at version “2.6.32-642.15.1.el6.x86_64”, but an update is available: 2.6.32-696.6.3.el6.x86_64 Update the system (run “yum -y update” on the command line)

But, whe I run "yum update" I'm getting this error message:

"ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
ImageMagick = 6.9.2-0 is needed by (installed) ImageMagick-devel-6.9.2-0.x86_64

Your transaction was saved, rerun it with:
yum load-transaction /tmp/yum_save_tx-2017-08-22-17-38CaigIl.yumtx"

I'm a newbie, any help please?

Kind Regards

 

Hello, many thanks for yout answer

The output is:

Code:

root@server2 [~]# yum info ImageMagick|grep Repo
Repo        : installed
Repo        : base
Repo        : base
root@server2 [~]# yum info ImageMagick-devel|grep Repo
Repo        : installed
Repo        : base
root@server2 [~]#

I added

Exclude=ImageMagick*

To the /etc/yum.conf file

When I ran yum -y update the output was

Code:

root@server2 [~]# yum -y update

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Then I enetered

yum -y update --skip-broken

And the kernel and several things was updated. Rebooted and all is going fine

But I now have two errors with yum -y update:

Code:
