Try upgrading to the latest yum in RHEL-5, and give the full output if it still fails. Also make sure it's not a pre-exiting problem, and that you have access to the xen packages.

Comment 2 Zdeněk Pavlas 2013-03-18 14:02:48 UTC
Very likely a pre-existing rpmdb problem.  Please try reinstalling the xen package.
