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.

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.
