Usually xorg-x11-xfs is not installed on BlueQuartz and /usr/bin/ttmkfdir 
shouldn't be there as well. 

So I don't know where those two pieces of software came from, but it's nothing 
that's there by default.

ttmkfdir and xorg-x11-xfs are on the CentOS YUM repository, though. ttmkfdir 
is something that indexes true type font directories and xorg-x11-xfs is the 
xfs font server.

So I'd try the following first:

	yum install ttmkfdir
	yum update

If that fails I'd try a "rpm -e xorg-x11-xfs" - which will most likely fail. 
But it should show you which software is needing xorg-x11-xfs.

As a next step - which is kinda brutish - I'd try to resolve the issue this 
way:

	rpm -e xorg-x11-xfs --nodeps
	yum install ttmkfdir xorg-x11-xfs
	yum update

Yeah, that works as well, even if the dependencies for a regular "yum update" 
are not fully satisfied.
