problem with up2date (or selinux?)

When I run up2date -u, it seems to successfully install the latest 
kdelibs rpm, but if I do it again, it does it again. I did an rpm -q 
kdelibs and found that it was not installed. I noticed that this rpm is 
sitting in /var/spool/up2date, so I tried to run it directly using rpm. 
This is what I got:

[root at aa up2date]# rpm -Fvh kdelibs-3.3.1-3.11.i386.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### 
[100%]
error: %pre(kdelibs-3.3.1-3.11.i386) scriptlet failed, exit status 255
error:   install: %pre scriptlet failed (2), skipping kdelibs-3.3.1-3.11
[root at aa up2date]#

I googled on "scriptlet failed, exit status 255" and came up with a 
possible problem with up2date (and I guess rpm) not having the correct 
label (rpm_exec_t)

I made the required changes, but still no joy.

Does anyone know how to get around this problem?
