Ok, guess I didn't read your email carefully.
I guess the issue is that you can't attemp to re-install the OSUpdate 4,
because of bind.

[ if all else fails, you may want to try and remove the offending package]
look in /var/lib/cobalt/uninstallers/
for RaQ3-All-Security-4.0.2-9353.pkg  (contains bind.8.2.3.)
then run
/var/lib/cobalt/uninstallers/RaQ3-All-Security-4.0.2-9353.pkg
To see if you can uninstall the bind package.
If that don't work do
rpm -qa | grep bind
" bind-utils-8.2.3-C1
  bind-8.2.3-C1
  bind-devel-8.2.3-C1
"
and remove with rpm -e <rpm name>
It's a shame that thre are times when the packages do not install correctly.
At least once I had to completely restore a system because of the updates.
