Attached is rpm -qa --last .  In case it is helpful, I sorted that 
output and compared it to the yum.log to see the differences.

This would be great.  I hope you are right.  My concern is the packages 
include python, yum, and rpm.

It is most certainly my fault *not* his.  I had added a packed of his to 
includepkgs=  but removed it when I found it had too many dependencies, 
but I neglected to change enabled= back to 0.
