Hm.  The skip list reason might be an issue w/ up2date not giving the
most useful of error messages... there have been versions that would
give that on certain dependency errors.  Make sure you have the latest
version of up2date and see if that helps.

As for the unpack error, that's quite weird.  My guess would be a
screwed up download of the package, or something particular to your
system... something like /tmp running out of space or something.

You might try downloading the httpd package from the rhn.redhat.com
website and seeing if a manual rpm -Uvh install works.  You can also
try:

	up2date httpd

from the commandline and see if that works.
