Hi Jim;
The sequence:

The key was to use -y on yum so it wouldn't time out on me when I gave
up watching it take forever...
Thanks folks,

Ten hours seems like a long time for the update to complete. As posted
by you on your computer specs, it is great that it eventually finished
successfully.
Yum must of bombed before it got to where it could of caused
multi-versions of the same package within the rpm database.
You might want to install the yum-utils package and run
'package-cleanup --problems' to see if there are any problems with
packages installed.
