Yesterday yum update installed a new kernel et al.
For some reason /etc/inittab was renamed to /etc/inittab.rpmsave.
rc.local got the same treatment.
I had to use a live Linux CD to repair the damage before
FC5 would boot properly.
Why would RPM mess with these files? Any other files hosed
that I should worry about?
See bug 197906.

Does yum update work differently than rpm -Uvh does?
If you use the update option to rpm and it is not installed, does it use
the install script vs. the update script?
What happens if a package is removed by yum, then updated via the update
script? Do some routines get skipped, like adding the files which were
saved by the package removal previously, which do not exist, but were
saved as the remove routine?
Just curious<
