No that much of a trouble here. Maybe by an accident? These files
are "precompiled" Python so as long as you have a corresponding .py
file then you should not even notice during an execution that some
files are gone.

missing /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/soundcard.pyc

This seems to be an effect of a "cooperation" between yum and
a way how that rpm package was put together.
If you will try
rpm -qf --scripts /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/probeCard.py
then you will see, among other things,
preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ -d /usr/share/system-config-soundcard ] ; then
rm -rf /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/*.pyc
fi
Why this was inserted there if 'system-config-soundcard' package
owns these *.pyc files is a good guess. Likely some "hysterical
raisins". Now yum does 'Update' and 'Cleanup', in that order,
in a cleanup phase 'rm -rf ...' from the old package gets executed
and you end up with missing files.
Smells like a bugzilla time with reports about packaging.
Thanks! the problem hits me on a good portion of system-config-*
packages on a continued basis. Now that I realize that the cleanup yum
does is effected by the packaging problem in system-config-* (display,
samba, securitylevel, soundcard) seem to do this when new packages are
upgraded.
I'll run an rpm missing files query shortly and file the appropriate bugs.
missing /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.13/chrome/overlayinfo/global/content
A similar mechanism like above seems to in work here (but with
mozilla/firefox packages there is even more fun :-).
There were more missing files until I ran a script within the mozilla
installed packages or extracted from the rpm via mc. I don't recall the
name of the script.
The bug report for mozilla is still going strong and no remedy has been
introduced. I guess when mozilla is orphaned the bug will b closed.
