A reboot is also required in the cases of a glibc update unless you take the time to restart all services that are running and logout and then log back in to interactive shell sessions.
I've also noticed that Firefox will not operate correctly after some updates, and a reboot seems to fix this.
Strange. Never needed to do that. Of course, I *exit* from FF *before* doing a yum update when I know a new FF is in the pipeline.
Maybe that's because my machine is running generally 24/7, and I do quite often leave FF running on 2-3 desktops, with several tabs open at once. Then yum runs each night as a cron job. But even so, if I shut down all instances of FF and start one fresh instance again, IIRC I still seem to need to do a reboot *sometimes* to get things back in sync again.
My machine also runs 24/7, but never run yum unattended and never leave FF running (I actually logout of my desktop machine when I am not sitting at it).
Kind Regards,
Keith Roberts
