Couple questions. Does this still happen? And, when you downloaded teh package manually, can you compare the md5sum against what is listed in the errata for that package? https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-028.html Finally, what happens when you do an up2date -d --src - this ought to just download, and not actually try to install.
Okay, I'm new to Linux and managed to confuse things. First... The up2date failures continue to happen even with the -d -- src options. The message refers to "pam-0.75-46.7.3.src.rpm" which I am now thinking is different from that which I attempted to download "pam-0.75-46.7.3.i386.rpm". Here is what happens when I attempt to download and install "pam-0.75- 46.7.3.i386.rpm". [root@chvpklnxgdm root]# tar xvf rhn-packages.tar rhn-packages/pam-0.75-46.7.3.i386.rpm tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Unexpected EOF in archive tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now [root@chvpklnxgdm root]# md5sum rhn-packages/pam-0.75-46.7.3.i386.rpm 560cc6074fb55251c050eee44814f536 rhn-packages/pam-0.75- 46.7.3.i386.rpm [root@chvpklnxgdm root]#
Mmm. Well, if the package doesn't finish downloading, then the package md5sum will automatically be wrong... I am, however, confused by why you are dealing with a tarball when you are up2dating? You ought not to be... What do you mean by 'downloaded it manually'?
