Yes.

[jat48 at thacker jat48]$ rpm -q comps
comps-9-0.20030313

Aha.  Hmm, the same thing happened with rpmdb-redhat, although I did upgrade
that by hand.  I didn't know about comps.

0.94 < 9, so the installer apparently didn't do the upgrade, since the RHL
9 package looked newer to rpm.  In fact to upgrade comps right now I have
to use --force.

After doing that upgrade it seems to work better, with only a few references 
to groups referencing packages which don't exist anymore.  Those errors don't
seem to be critical.
