Philip-

I would assume that you are running Up2Date through rawhide...  This is 
a known problem that cropped up with the latest Up2date release.

Simply type         rm -f /var/spool/up2date/rawhide*

Re-run up2date and you should be off and running.  You need to be root 
when running the above command, and note the *(start) on the end of the 
command.  Hope this helps,
