Although that method is pseudo-supported, I would try preupgrade in
the future as recommended by
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum

Did you run yum upgrade or yum update?

Don't take this the wrong way as it can be difficult to discern "tone"
in an email but, the site I referenced specifically states:
"Although upgrades with yum works, it is not explicitly tested as part
of the release process by the Fedora Project. If you are not prepared
to resolve issues on your own if things break, you should probably use
the recommended installation methods instead."

There may be a more automated method but I ran into some issues
orphaned packages after upgrading with preupgrade and did the
following for each problem package:

Uninstall the old package:
rpm -e --nodeps <package>

Install the new package:
yum install <package>
