I can't update these packages... either I'm doing something wrong or
perhaps package is broken?

This error usually means that the old file it's replacing doesn't
match the one that's supposed to be there. Did you manually install a
newer copy of npm at some point?

Actually, this one is my fault.  This went to a symlink to a directory
and eventually became unneeded as a result of work on bug 953051 [1],
but I guess the symlink slipped back in on a revert.  :-(

A fixed version is building now.

Definitely the latter.  :-)

This package is from RPMforge not EPEL, so you'll have to report a bug there.

This one's my fault.  It should be fixed in npm-1.3.6-4.el6:
