	Oh, believe me, I know just how lucky I was.

	As I said, that's exactly what I did.  It's just that the yum upgrade
was trashed in the middle due to a power blip.  Luck had it that I had
enough of the updated rpm files on the system to make the "rpm -Uvh" work.

	Dumb luck is often the savior of the insane.
