You may want to check upon this CentOS bug report:
Which has been closed as 'no change required'. Some change is required.
As things stand my systems are on version 4.2.0.a.20040617-8.el4_8.2, the CentOS name for the August update. There's an October update called 4.2.0.a.20040617-8.el4_8.centos.2 which has the same changelog as the August one, and which wasn't installed because it has a lower version number.
Now there's a new update with version 4.2.0.a.20040617-8.el4_8.1 which has important fixes in it, but which is also not being installed because it has a lower number than the incorrectly versioned August update.
The CentoS version on the August update is wrong (it should have been 4.2.0.a.20040617-8.el4_7.2) and it's preventing the December update from being installed.
