Thanks Will! I think I'll just sort through the packages manually and
remove the older versions after I check and make sure the newer one is
actually installed.

It's supposed to be a rainy weekend anyways here... ;)

I never realized this was a common problem, because I've never had this
issue before and I've done quite a few upgrades with Fedora and CentOS
the past two years. Like I said, I guess it's my turn. Thanks again!
