Just a few quick suggestions.
Check any pending config files updates (.rpmsave, .rpmnew, etc):
# find /etc -iname "*.rpm*"
Check anything unusual in plug-ins, protections, etc.
This will be shown in the top 2-4 lines of e.g.
$ yum list rdesktop
Turn on debugging or error levels when executing failing commands.
$ man yum
...
-d [number]
Sets the debugging level to [number] - turns up or down the amount of
things that are printed. Practical range: 0 - 10
Configuration Option: debuglevel
-e [number]
Sets the error level to [number] Practical range 0 - 10. 0 means print
only critical errors about which you must be told. 1 means print all
errors, even ones that are not overly important. 1+ means print more
errors (if any) -e 0 is good for cron jobs.
Configuration Option: errorlevel
...
Give this a shot:
$ man yum
...
update
...
If the --obsoletes flag is present yum will include package obsoletes in
its calculations - this makes it better for distro-version changes, for
example: upgrading from somelinux 8.0 to somelinux 9.
...
--obsoletes
This option only has affect for an update, it enables yum's obsoletes
processing logic. For more information see the update command above.
Configuration Option: obsoletes
...
Please verify format of this entry (I am on a different OS right now ...).
# yum --help
# yum --obsoletes update
You can even run the above with this option:
--noplugins
Run with all plugins disabled.
Configuration Option: plugins
# yum --noplugins --obsoletes update
