I had forgotten that; so I did a different but I hope equivalent thing : ran the GUI search, against the filesystem, for *.rpmnew; wherever I found one (all in /etc), I went into the appropriate directory in /etc and did "mv x.y x.y.old" followed by "mv x.y.rpmnew x.y" Then I ran yum update again, and got the same errors as before. I tried the little yellow stuffed animal updater -- and got the same errors. I logged out and back in, because I sometimes also got something about yum.pid (I was su'd to root from my userid) ; did both again.
