There appears to be a problem with Centos 5.2 when trying to upgrade openssh-clients to version 4.3p2-26.el5.
root@server [/usr/src]# yum update openssh-clients

Updating : openssh-clients ######################### [1/2]
Error unpacking rpm package openssh-clients – 4.3p2-26.el5.i386
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/ssh: cpio: rename
Updated: openssh-clients.i386 0:4.3p2-26.el5
Complete!
UPDATE: I finally figured out why Openssh was not updating.
If you lsattr /usr/bin/ssh it will probably show that the file has been modified using chattr -i -a to prevent modification.

There are a few ways to see what version of Centos your server has installed.
Steps
1) While logged in as root, enter the following commands.
cat /etc/redhat-release
This should produce a response like this:

2) Another method is to enter the following command:
rpm -qa | grep centos
This should produce results like this:
root@server [~]# rpm -qa | grep centos
