Thanks Akemi I am getting the same hash value as you, so it doesn't appear to be the rpm that is at fault. I have tried yum reinstall of yum* and rpm* without solving the issue. As this is on another KVM guest on the machine on which I had an unrelated unsolved error, I think I may have a hardware problem. Time for the memory test.
