I wanted to update to CentOS 4.3 from CentOS 4.2. While updating packages using yum, there was serveral error messages, and I've found that some packages has not been updated.
So I tried to update again but the packages would not be updated. I attached the messages shown below.

Doing something like:
rpm -q --scripts hal diskdumputils squid nscd initscripts kernel
reveals that all of these packages that are mentioned are trying to create or update a user. So something is wrong on your system that is required for all of these packages.
You can use the above scripts on your currently installed packages to see what is required to work prior to installation.
As an example I have added the following scriptlet from the hal package:
# Add the "haldaemon" user /usr/sbin/useradd -c 'HAL daemon' -u 68 \ -s /sbin/nologin -r -d '/' haldaemon 2> /dev/null || :

Thank you for your reply! It was very helpful to me.
I have figured out why the errors occurred. I changed to SELINUX=permissive in the /etc/sysconfig/selinux about 2 months ago. Today I have found several files in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin do not have context when I see the directory list by 'ls -lZ' command.
I cannot understand why they have blank context. Anyway I have restored context information by restorecon command. And I could finish successfully 'yum update'.

Did you run yum under a restricted user?
