Actually every package generates these same errors. I don't think we 
really want 500 bugzilla items. I don't really want to update at the 
moment because it just causes more failed rpm transactions.

Any ideas for what the underlying cause might be ?

Actually, attempting to start sshd on that machine also fails:
# service sshd start
Starting sshd: /usr/sbin/sshd: error while loading shared libraries: 
libwrap.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
   [FAILED]

# sshd
sshd re-exec requires execution with an absolute path

Think it is related ?
