[K12OSN] YUM & Package Updates failing - Centos 5

[Anthony Luscre]

Yesterday, I did a server build using the Centos 5.0.1 DVD.
When ever I try to add software via YUM or Software Updater tells me 
that 139 updates are available and I click to install updates and it 
gives a crash message (for a few examples see below.)
Has anyone else had this problem and/or knows a solution.

Thanks
Anthony
