Summary     : A utility for determining file types
Description :
The file command is used to identify a particular file according to the
type of data contained by the file.  File can identify many different
file types, including ELF binaries, system libraries, RPM packages, and
different graphics formats.

Not sure whether this is directly related, but it's the only search hit on Bugzilla. Last week this update worked with the same version of packages. This week it no longer works:

# yum update --disablerepo="*" --enablerepo="rhel-6-server-rpms"

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
# uname -r
2.6.32-573.7.1.el6.x86_64
# cat /etc/redhat-release
