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.

This cannot happen with yum. OK, it can, but it would be a very very
serious bug if it did, either in yum or in the packages themselves, and
likely would be reported many times by more diligent people and fixed very
quickly.

So update yum first, in case the initial version had a bug that was fixed.

That's why I like smart. It works really well. Ric
