(Incidentally there is a "yum reinstall" which is preferable to a
separate uninstall and install if you do need to do this, though I
don't think it works for package groups - need to know what the actual
problem is.)
As a slight aside, one thing about "yum reinstall" that I find strange
is that it does not reinstall the dependencies (unless there needs to be
some other flag to make that happen).
Example:
$ sudo yum reinstall libRmath
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit,
remove- : with-leaves

Exiting on user Command
Your transaction was saved, rerun it with:
yum load-transaction /tmp/yum_save_tx.2013-06-02.09-10.lvKxOg.yumtx
when we do have dependencies (libRmath-devel) also installed. In my
view both should be reinstalled.
