Did you install rpm/urpmi from updates/testing before ?
If no you'll have (as i did) have to manually install first rpm &
dependencies directly via rpm due to the filesystem require [1] , than
dracut, reboot to do the migration & once you're done you should be
able to update without problem.



[1] see the thread named " My feeeling about the
rpmlib(X-CheckUnifiedSystemdir) dependency " & the circular  dep
problem.
