Yum update is crashing. I did a yum clean all, but that doesn't help.

]# yum update
what happens if you update 1 package ? (pick a simple one, w/o lots of deps)

Come to that, the error message sounds like yum didn’t like the format of a file it downloaded. Try disabling all but one repo and see what happens.
For example, yum --disablerepo=* --enablerepo=updates check-update
Then try disabling all but another one. Once you've identified the repo, see if there are any other problem reports and/or try forcing yum to use a different mirror (try editing /etc/yum.repos.d/*.repo).
Hope this helps,
James.

This could be your yum history database getting corrupted.
$ sudo rm -f /var/lib/yum/history/*
(This will of course keep you from rolling back transactions from your history, as it'll be gone.)

It seems to me that the RPM database have got corrupted, please try rebuilding the same. Guide : http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/rebuilding-corrupted-rpm-database.html
