You might try yum groupinstall <groupname> in order to assure that all 
the elements for the group are installed. You can get a list of groups 
by running 'yum grouplist' to see different groups available. Replace 
the <groupname> with the desired group. For groups that are multiple 
words, enclosing the group with the " at both ends should pull in the 
group. (EXAMPLE: "yum groupinstall "This group for Rent" should pull in 
the group listed as This group for rent.)
This should also get you additional packages that an upgrade might miss. 
It is sort of a poor man's install "Whats New Group".
