CentOS - Feb 2014 - yum update tries and fails to install libreswan

On 6.5, I've got openswan installed, but yum update is wanting to install
libreswan.

If libreswan is intended to replace openswan, wouldn't the appropriate yum
transactions have been created to remove opnswan first?

I'm stumped. Advice appreciated.

Libreswan is from the epel repository, so it's not an "official"
replacement for openswan. You can exclude the package in your yum
configuration and carry on as before if you wish.
