apparently does not actually include all of the required files, and the

After a brief following of this thread, I am unable to see how this
could happen. However, the yum logs could help us understand, and if
necessary, avoid this in the future. Could you please post the last part
of your yum log - ie the part from say the date before when you were
adding the extra packages. This is found in /var/log/yum.log {or if it
was rolled over recently in /var/log/yum-2008????.log
Also, were any updates done using rpm directly ?
