Things like that happen when instead of updating a package yum
decides to remove an old package first and later to install a new
version.  Look at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196590
for similar reports.  Does it ring a bell?  If you have seen
something of that sort recently you likely should add some
comments in bugzilla.

When I tried to repeat something like that I could not.
