Mike,

Thanks, but I'm still stuck... here's the sequence of events.

I d/l the rpm package you referenced, placed in my pwd (jamoore), ran
the "rpm ..." command, and then tried another "yum update". It ended as
before  :(

Thanks - I appreciate your patience.

[root at aria jamoore]# rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs --replacefiles
