While you've been given the advice to reinstall, much like a Windows system, there is one other utility you can try first, if you haven't completely blown out the yum transaction, that is.

yum install yum-utils
yum-complete-transaction

That's probably a slim possibility, but I had to do that with one F13->F14 upgrade; but yum-complete-transaction was the very first command I ran, and I didn't try another install in between, and the repositories hadn't changed enough to change the contents of the yum transaction (which will abort it).

Another possibility is to run package-cleanup --dupes to list the duplicates, an rpm -aq to list all packages, edit out the dupes, then manually install the needed rpms to upgrade from the DVD.  Good luck.
