"updatedb"? It has _nothing_ to do with package management at all. It
is part of the locate database (package "mlocate").

Then examine the directory structure below /var/cache/yum. For every
repository there is a "packages" directory, which contains the
downloaded packages. Partial/corrupted downloads can cause problems. A
few times before, after initial release packages have been resigned
with a different key, which invalidated old checksums and caused
download problems, too.
