You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I see you've added the rpmforge repos to the system.
This can cause issues as you've seen.
I'd recommend sticking with the official RH repos if possible.
IF you need more, try EPEL next https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL.
Only resort to rpmforge if neither of the above has what you need.
...and those threads say you're using RHEL 5, and 6.1. Now it's 6.4, since yesterday?

Since you want to know what you need to do:
PAY for Red Hat enterprise or DO NOT USE IT
If you ARE paying, then you need to CALL RED HAT SUPPORT, and tell them you're having trouble registering your system and installing packages
the first in the error is this -- and it is a very BIG problem that can ONLY be solved one way !!!

buy the REQUIRED red hat support contract
there is NO way around that !

that is a red hat FIVE ( RHEL5) program
it is NOT a rhel6 ( el6) program
also not really fixable
third
"RPMForge"
now on RHEL6 / CentOS 6 this is "??? mostly???" fixed
it is mostly compatible? maybe?
in RHEL5 it was NOT compatible with RHN
in rhel6 it mostly is fixed
( but i DO NOT trust it !!! )
you need to install and CONFIGURE "yum-priaorites" or "yum-protectbase" plugins
one or the other , not both
the Fix
BUY the required "server" licenses for RHEL5 and RHEL6 !!!
Everybody pirates Windows, so now I guess the new challenge is to pirate RedHat.
If you really think that's the case, you need to read Red Hat's licensing policies.
You can freely download and use RHEL as long as you want...what you pay for is updates/repository access/support. If you want an unpatched, unstable system then feel free to do just that. If you just want to load RHEL for testing, installation, etc., you can get a free 30 day support package. After 30 days, you're on your own.
Why ANYONE would do that in a company environment is beyond me, though. You can load CentOS for FREE, get updates/patches for free, etc....everything but tech support and 'certification' that your OS will play nicely with other packages (like Oracle).
Point taken, it was not a serious comparison. I regard a Linux system without any repository or update access as essentially useless/not usable, and regarding RedHat, since there is no "free" model, using it without paying is almost akin in my mind to using Windows without paying, though I well understand that the legal aspects are very different.
