Thanks for the update Dan.

I am still a bit concerned that up2date did not report that the package 
up2date failed and that it removed the old version of the package as well.  
If I had been manually updating (as I did with the kernel), I saw that there 
was a problem.  Up2date should have caught that also but did not.  I do not 
know if yum has this problem or not and will probably explore using it as an 
alternative to up2date.  However, I will probably wait for Seth's big rewrite 
that he is working on.
