Well typical RedHat again.... I checked this last night (5/17/11) before I left work and still the same problem. This morning (5/18/11) I tried a yum update again and magically it had been fixed. No status from RedHat on this at all. Still floating around somewhere in Raleigh within their corporate FUD.... thanks Redhat for fixing this anyway....
