The problem seems (I had it too), that yum/rpm are not able to do the
update, because there is a collision between a man file from the two
versions. I used rpm -e --nodeps to remove the old version and than used
yum to install the new version. Without it yum wouldn't want to update
it. Since i didn't think much of it, i never bothered to report it.

But yes i have seen that error to, and i didn't use a mirror, so it is
very unlikely an stale mirror problem.
