Was this upgrade done with the installer?
Yes.
What does 'rpm -q comps' say?
[jat48@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.
