If the rpm version has been bumped, and/or if yum has been updated,  
it's sometimes a really good idea to 'yum upgrade rpm' and/or 'yum  
upgrade yum' first, then do the others.  I typically do that, but I  
seem to remember getting burned by some upgrade of rpm years ago that  
got that put on my 'do this when a significant update comes along'  
list.  It's right under the 'perform a clone/snapshot' line item  
(since virtually all of my servers are, uh, virtualized (sorry,  
couldn't resist), VMware snapshots are easy, pretty fast, and  
wonderful when things break bad).
