[rhn-users] Up2date Problem

[Mark R. Ballard]

I'm fairly new to being a Linux administrator so please forgive how green I
am, but here's my problem.
I ran up2date (as root) on one of my servers yesterday that aborted during
the installation step and I don't think everything that got downloaded was
installed. 
I got the following error:
 
    127:pvm                    ###########################################
[100%]
    error: unpacking of archive failed on file
/usr/share/pvm3/bin/LINUXI386: cpio: rename
    Error on option --makefile-uninstall-rule: unknown option.    
    Run 'gconftool-2 --help' to see a full list of available command line
options.
    error reading information on service keytable: No such file or directory
    error: %trigger(kbd-1.08-10.2) scriptlet failed, exit status 1
    Shutting down NFS mountd: [FAILED]
    Shutting down NFS daemon: [FAILED]
    Shutting down NFS quotas: [FAILED]
    Shutting down NFS services:  [  OK  ]
    Stopping NFS statd: [  OK  ]
    groupdel: group rpm does not exist
    There was a fatal RPM install error. The message was:
    There was a rpm unpack error installing the package: pvm-3.4.5-6_EL3

I then ran up2date again and it installed a few more packages and said I was
up2date, but it never attempted to reinstall pvm-3.4.5-6_EL3.  I still have
a ton of rpm and hdr files
in /var/spool/up2date.  Does up2date remove those files once they are
installed?  
 
Also, my up2date problem seems to have removed several services (i.e., sshd,
crond, kudzu, nfs, nfslock, etc.) from the appropriate run levels (rc0.d -
rc6.d).
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
 
Mark
