Due to changes in MD5 checksums, "yum update" will fail. To fix this:

Can anyone verify that this actually works? I have not experienced this
problem. The more complicated methods I have seen come across the list
were (I think) what's below, but if they are no longer necessary or
accurate the above is very clean.

2.)
"Make sure db4-utils is installed. (That one went smoothly with yum.)
Get rpm-4.6.0-8 as well as rpm-libs and rpm-python from koji. (Or, one
could probably do it by installing the yum-downloadonly plugin then
doing yum --downloadonly install rpm, which should pull in the others,
as well as bash and company.
Then, assuming db4-utils is installed, get the rpm-libs rpm-python and
rpm in one directory. Then rpm -Uvh *rpm"
From what Seth wrote, your method should now work. I won't have a
chance to try with a fresh install for a day or two.
Thank you for adding it to the wiki though, now we can simply point
people there. From what I understand, the more complex methods should
no longer be necessary, but like you, haven't had an opportunity to test
it.
