Rpm failure update

[Antonio Montagnani <anto montagnani virgilio it>]

On my home box running RH9 I run RHN: yesterday evening I got the 
message that 3 packaged had to be updated.
I started RHN and I suceeded to update the first two packages, as during 
installation of third packages RHN (coreutils) crashed, computer after a 
while freezed, if I used Ctrl/Alt/Backspace I got a lank screen with 
cursor flashing, no operation.
I hade to make a hard re-boot, run a fsck/dev/hdb1 (I have a dal boot 
system), and thensystem worked: I downloaded updated RPM of coreutils, i 
made a RPM -Fvh *.rpm, but system crashed again same way, and then 
system had to be repaired according to described procedure.
If I run rpm -va coreutils I get :

I rebuilt RPM database, and afterwards I disinstalled and re-installed a packega in order to see if RPM package was the problem.
Any hint??

How do I repair the existing coreutils??

Tnx

Antonio
