I think my first reply slipped off the list and went directly to Daniel.

Currently I have replaced the patched yum with the latest 'standard' yum
for FC5.

I am still get the same error message. Looking in /usr/lib/util-vserver
I find RPMSTATEDIR in two files; functions and pkgmgmt. Trying to chase
them backwards I think the problem may be that I created /vservers as a
link to /var/vservers because we decided recently to convert the system
into a Linux-Vserver. ( Apache, mod_perl, Catalyst issues. )

Since '/var' is on a different partition than '/' I had to softlink it.
  Could this be the problem?
