Very possibly. The thing is, if Amarok uses MySQL, I am betting big

When you updated, yum just did its best to get you up to date according
the comps.xml file.
Does yum downgrade packages? I've installed RPMs with a higher version
than what's available from my configured repos (typically packages I've
built myself), and haven't seen yum try to replace them with down-level
packages.
I'm suspecting that there's something fishy about the version
information in the installed package that caused yum to think the repo
package was a higher version. Was it installed from tarball, bypassing
RPM, perhaps?
Yum doesn't downgrade packages.
But Smart does, if that's required to preserve a relationship or to fix
a problem.
