Just a couple of random suggestions...

One of the things I always do after patching a box is do an 'updatedb',
followed by 'locate rpmsave' and 'locate rpmnew'.  Then I resolve the
differences.

The other suggestion comes from a recent experience I had when updating
a box running cacti.  Did the upgrade, then cacti broke completely.
Turns out that I didn't have the default fonts that cacti expected.  I
ended up having to install dejavu-lgc-fonts from rpmforge to resolve it.
Why do I bring this up?  Because cacti depends upon rrdtool, just like
mrtg...
