I think you might have some sort of selinux-rpm interaction problem. I would imagine that if you attempt to use rpm manually for these updates you will see similar errors, the errors you see here are being generated after yum is handing off to rpmlib. Comments in previous threads about exit status 255 items seem to indicate selinux is invovled..but don't think i've ever personally seen this happen on my rawhide box for any update even though i run selinux-targetted, so I can't speak from first hand experience. -jef
