Did you tried cleaning RPM databases and rebuilding it?

yum clean all
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm --rebuilddb

try disabling ipv6.... worked for me, do the following:

Add a new file /etc/modprobe.d/ECS.conf containing

alias net-pf-10 off
alias ipv6 off

Edit /etc/sysconfig/network and add a line saying

NETWORKING_IPV6=off

Then do

chkconfig ip6tables off

then reboot.

After these changes, IPv6 will be disabled after the next reboot of your system.
