You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
package-cleanup --dupes
rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
The program package-cleanup is found in the yum-utils package.
The error you're getting indicates that you have a missing package dependency; and that yum cannot find this dependency in the repositories you've defined in /etc/yum.repos.d/myrepofile.repo
Try adding in more CentOS repositories in your repo file and it should find the missing dependency (you can find a list of official repos on the CentOS project site
Understanding how to configure and use yum is a fundamental area of RHEL and its variants - I suggest you do some research on this and attempt to do this yourself.
Its not constructive if I give you a step by step guide; as you'll learn more if you attempt to do this yourself.
For links to repositories, as per my previous post, please go and have a look on the CentOS project site.
