Don't upgrade yum separately first. While it may seem like a good
strategy, I got burned by doing so in this exact situation. The yum
got updated but the various python libs it depened on did not. This
left a non runnable yum and a dependency hell to sort out manually.

Reduce your package count as much as possible and upgrade all at once.
