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
so trying to just update tar
# yum update tar

but interestingly if i yum locainstall the tar package and then yum
update it all works fine - seems very odd and possibly a broken yum
package as rpm works OK ?
anyone seen this?
thanks
