For what it's worth, in the YUM days few years back I had a botched
update (not even upgrade!). I believe it was a 5.x Centos, and yum
decided to delete a ton of packages. The system became unbootable,
and I had to do a lot of manual yum installs including IIRC yum
itself, to restore it. I didn't even file yum bugs because that
system has a rich history and a lot of odd software installed so I
chalked it to 'self-inflicted', but:
I learned to be very careful reading the lists of packages
suggested for deletion.
