Bret,
10 of the 11 give the fail message they are on a skip list. I can't
Find a skip list they'd be on anywhere. The other fails with reason
Failed: Packages failed to install properly: There was a rpm unpack error
installing the package: httpd-2.0.40-21.11

Thanks Paul, typing "linux upgrade" at the boot prompt did the trick.

When I first signed up with redhat it showed me with 14 errata which needed
updating. I scheduled the updates and it did update 3 of the 14 but 11
failed. Since then I have on different days scheduled for the other 11 to be
updated and each time all 11 fails. Any ideas as to why?

Thanks

What do the error messages on rhn.redhat.com say for your system?

Manually (as root on the local machine) up2date -u up2date. We always saw
such failures on rhel3 u1 and u2. We have had far fewer such problems since
up2date-4.2.33-1.

rpm --changelog up2date lists many bugs fixed, but they're all marked 
private in bugzilla.
