CentOS - Sep 2011 - Depsolving errors whilst upgrading Centos 5.6 -> 5.7

I have a dedicated server from 1&1 (http://1and1.co.uk/). A 'yum list
updates' today showed me that the 5.7 update was available (it's
probably been there for a while, I don't check that often).

But running 'yum update' gives the following error:

Running rpm_check_debug

I haven't reported the bug yet. I thought I'd see if anyone here had
seen anything similar first.

Cheers,

Dave...

does that server use cpanel or webmin or something?  many of those muck 
with the system package lists such that yum update is not reliable.
