Bob (and others),
I've updated the AWIPS II repo with changes to the awips2-edex-upc package that
will fix the install and config errors you are experiencing.
Updating should be as simple as (as root):
* su ldm -c "ldmadmin stop"
* edex stop
* yum clean all
* yum groupupdate awips2-server (which will execute the command "edex setup"
post-install).
then manually check that the config is correct with the command "edex setup"
finally,
* edex start
* su ldm -c "ldmadmin start"
The awips2-edex-upc error that you were experiencing was caused by the config
script finding more than one useable IP address with ifconfig:
Installing : awips2-edex-upc-14.2.1-4.x86_64 77/77
[edex] EDEX IP and Hostname Setup

This should be fixed now.
The netcdf package error is new to me, I have not heard of this on user's EDEX
machines yet:
Installing : netcdf-AWIPS-3.6.0p1-2.OB9211.i686 71/77
Error unpacking rpm package netcdf-AWIPS-3.6.0p1-2.OB9211.i686
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/local/netcdf: cpio: rename
This appears to be caused by trying to re-install the netcdf-AWIPS package
after having it fail once. My suggestion is to remove the package, if
installed, and install again, hopefully the /usr/local/netcdf sym link will be
removed and recreated in the process:
* yum remove netcdf-AWIPS
* ls -la /usr/local | grep netcdf
* yum install netcdf-AWIPS
* ls -la /usr/local | grep netcdf
