CentOS - Sep 2017 - yum update problem - dependancy problem

I'm sure this is a FAQ, and a simple answer is available, but I've not
managed
it yet.  I've tried all of the RPM database tidy routines. I've tried 
uninstalling the libblueray1 library but the ever growning dependency tree 
was too big.


For a while I've been updating using the command 

yum -y --skip-broken  --exclude rpcbind update

which I though t was working,  but the list of rpm's not updated is ever 
growing so i need to find a solution. Here is the output from the yum update. 
I've remove the bulk of the output for brevity but I can include it if 
needed.

I wish the yum maintainers would remove that suggestion:(

The error is actually pretty straight forward. You are using a repo (atrpms)
that has not been updated in years, it's not surprise that it finally has
lost
compatibility with the platform.

Find a modern and up to date replacement for any packages you reference
from atrpms and without the switches.

When looking at your suggestions I found that the atrpms were actually 
disabled (enabled=0)

I have enabled them and now it appears to be working.  Although the opposite 
of your suggestion, thanks for the fix.

I will remember for future installs to not use the atrpms.
