Somewhere in the process of doing a yum update from a terminal window open in an NX/freenx desktop session, the whole session blew up - perhaps when ssh restarted or when freenx was updated. The yum update did not complete beyond that point and the session was gone when I reconnected. Is that supposed to happen? (Centos 5.x)

Yes, it does happen. For more details, please see (warning, very long thread):

If you now have a broken rpm database because of the interrupted yum session, the thread has a remedy for that.

OK, that long thread caused a headache for someone (can't tell you who), so I'm going to give you a shortcut.
Run the command:
rpm -qa --qf "%{NAME} %{ARCH}\n" | sort | uniq -c | awk '$1 != 1 { print $2 }' | sort
If the output shows anything other than gpg-pubkey or kernel*, then your rpm database is most likely broken. Go to #45 of that thread. The OP nicely summarized the procedure to fix it.
