I'm having difficulties updating dhclient as outlined below by using either yum or rpm. I'm running CentOS on a virtual guest provided by a provider.

What's wrong? I did some other package updates using yum earlier and with the exception of this package it worked.
The filesystem is not full. There's plenty of space. Everything is mounted under /
Any ideas?
