I agree. Matt, did you just upgrade all the way from 5.0 to 5.5? Or were
you *at* 5.4? In either case, do you know what broke - if so, why not just
look through /var/log/yum.log, eliminate what would have nothing to do
with what broke (say, Xorg, etc) and then back out only the things that
your apps depend on?
