    OK, I'm game.

    As the penultimate step, let's rebuild the RPM database because it
    may have become corrupted. Just do, as root:

            # rpm --rebuilddb

    and take a nap. Later, try the

            # yum update

    step one last time.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one.

    Cheers
