yum update gone bad today?

[Trever L. Adams]

I had this happen on one machine. Make sure you remove all nisplus
entries from any line that is not commented (#) in /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Note, you do not remove the entire line, you just remove nisplus.

I had one computer that had this problem and this is what fixed it. IT
was also very interesting. None of the other machines have nisplus
entries. I do not know why one would get it (that was only occassionally
updated) while another didn't and none of the ones that get updated
nearly every day had the problem.
