up2date fails header download for nagios-0-2.12-9.el4.i386.hdr

I'm trying to up2date an RHEL4 ES (i386/i686, 32-bit) system. It always fails with:

An error has occurred:
exceptions.UnboundLocalError
See /var/log/up2date for more information

The thing is, when I look in the package lists, that precise version of nagios (nagios-0-2.12-9.el4.i386.hdr) is out-of-date. The version actually in the repositories (I checked several mirrors) is nagios-0-2.12-10.el4.i386.hdr.

I tried clearing the up2date/yum caches - they just rebuilt and came back to the same error.

What can I check to see what may be outdated, or otherwise reconcile this mismatch in some dependency as compared to the actual package version available?

This is preventing me from up2date'ing any package at all on the server, even those with no relation whatsoever to nagios.

Thanks!

Nah, I figured I'd just let everyone else do my job for me.
:-)

Yes, I did check /var/log/up2date. It is not very enlightening, at least to my eye. Of course, I should have posted it the first time; my apologies.

Here is the content of /var/log/up2date from such an 'up2date -u' run.
I hope someone with more 'up2date' (pun intended!) experience than I have (I had a coffee mug in the 1990s which said "I was UNIX when UNIX wasn't cool"! Never could grow the UNIX guru hair braid, unfortunately) .. can see something helpful in this.

Thanks,

I'm sure that will help somebody

Unfortunately, that's not me.
Do they have a forum for qns at EPEL; could worth a try?
