Now this one got more spooky...

I just forced each install of the other packages (non-openmotif) 
manually, one at at a time using "yum -C update <pkgname>" and then just 
for grins did a "yum -C update" to force to look at cache with the last 
package left (openmotif). openmotif installed fine !!!

[root]# yum -C update

I will do the following:
[update: openmotif-devel 2.2.2-14.2.legacy.i386]
[update: openmotif 2.2.2-14.2.legacy.i386]
[update: openmotif21 2.1.30-8.0.9.2.legacy.i386]
Is this ok [y/N]: y
