I had the same problem, for some reason, on one of my machines.

On that machine I upgraded from the full install DVD instead of doing
a yum preupgrade. Actually, I did the later, but it failed.

Anyhow, I believe I ran a yum check all > list.txt and then edited the
file and then used it as input to yum itself.

It was a terrible, terrible process.
I wonder if this thread plays well into the idea
that upgrading using yum should be scripted by
an expert so that us mortals do not have to slog
through this mud :)

It might be that Preupgrade has bugs. Reporting them and getting it
fixed would be the first choice rather than replace it with a script
which will likely have bugs as well. It is not realistic to believe
that you can write a script to handle upgrades and not have bugs.
Upgrading a distribution is a fairly complex process to say the least.
