First off I *do not* support the use of the upgrade tool under any
circumstances, just in case I haven't made my position clear in the
past.  That said, you'll probably do a more thorough job of fixing all
the mistakes made by the upgrade too if you follow it up with:

yum distro-sync

This should fix grep and any other package that is still left on the el6
version.
