I know that upgrading via yum is unsupported an not to ever do it

Shouldn't it be obvious that you're going to replace files when
upgrading a package?
Those are different archs.

Good point. Shortly after posting I realized I upgraded all of these
packages before using yum, but only the x86_64 versions. Looks like
I'm going to have to do a few more manual installs.
Any reason you did others manually? Handling them in yum means the
multilib trickery will be handled.
I know yum is not officially supported for upgrading from release to
release but depending on the system it works on a largish number of cases.

I wanted to make sure that my system survived the python-2.5 -> 2.6
switch, so I updated rpm, python, yum and a lot of deps manually.
I'll keep that info in mind in the future though.
