As I'm sure you're aware from Johnny Hughes recent posting to this list, the
contents of /etc/issue will stay that way for the entire life of CentOS 5.

# rpm -q centos-release
> centos-release-5-0.0.el5.centos.2

Nor me! I would be tempted to attempt to remove
centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1 (rpm -e --test
centos-release-5-1.0.el5.centos.1; rpm -e
centos-release-5.1.0.el5.centos.1if the test command was
o.k.), then try a yum update.

It does look as if your rpm dbase is a bit scrambled. Perhaps a rm
/var/lib/rpm/__db.??? would be an idea.
