I had to do that on one of our servers the other day after a 4.2 ->
4.3 Yum update. I was a little worried but after reboot the system
seemed fine.

Eep. Actually, checking more closely, I appear to have ended up in the
same state as Dave in the "futex.. How to remove lots of duplicate
packages" thread...

I have a bunch of duplicate packages I'm going to have to sort through
manually and remove the older versions...
