You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Description 

You have the epel (or possibly another third party) repository installed in addition to a cloudlinux repository like imunify360 or kernel care.  These repositories disagree on what version of the vips package should be installed, causing the dependency conflict.

Workaround

The top of the /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo file looks like this:

[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/$basearch
metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=$basearch&infra=$infra&content=$contentdir
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7

Add this line:

exclude=matio

under the name= line so that it looks like this:

[epel]
name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 7 - $basearch
exclude=matio
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/7/$basearch
metalink=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-7&arch=$basearch&infra=$infra&content=$contentdir
failovermethod=priority
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-7
