I have seen two things cause that sort of issue. One, the db for the RPM manager is hosed. There is a fix for that on redhat.com. It happened to me a couple of years ago, but I cannot remember the name of the widget, or the keyword. I think you could see the error if you tried to examine the rpm instead of install it.
The other I solved by recompiling the kernel, but that was in 6.2, 6.1 was a buggy rascal anyway. I've got 6.2 the full install if you want it. Although I could probably find 7.0 more easily.
