I was updating a couple days ago using pup, and in the middle of the

If you did not run yum afterwards (or pup) you should have the rpms
still in yum cache directories. You can use rpm in a VT terminal logged
in as root, change to the /var/cache/yum/<repo>/packages directory and
run rpm -Uvh --replacefiles --replacepkgs *.<arch>.rpm to install again
the rpms in text mode. The rpm multi-version problem is usually repaired
or brought down to a more reasonable level.
I stupidly upgraded an installation in the GUI once and had the problem
you mentioned before. I used the cached rpms to fix the problem and
*never* do upgrades with yum via a GUI terminal anymore.
There probably should be flagged packages where they are never upgraded
via the GUI included in pup or only upgraded when pup asks for a system
reboot before applying these updates.
