I do not believe that I have any duplicate RPM's installed, and I do not believe that the database is actually wrong. I believe that it is purely that the installs did not complete successfully.
I have managed to remove the latest kernel RPM and 'yum update kernel*' re-applied the update without errors.
I am going to go through the list of failed RPM's and to a 'rpm --reinstall' for each one in turn and hopefully they will work too.
Before doing that I will do as Kay suggested and find out why I had the memory problem in the first place.
