    For what it's worth, in the YUM days few years back I had a botched
    update (not even upgrade!). I believe it was a 5.x Centos, and yum
    decided to delete a ton of packages. The system became unbootable,
    and I had to do a lot of manual yum installs including IIRC yum
    itself, to restore it. I didn't even file yum  bugs because that
    system has a rich history and a lot of odd software installed so I
    chalked it to 'self-inflicted', but: 

    
        I learned to be very careful reading the lists of packages
    suggested for deletion.
