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).
when we do have dependencies (libRmath-devel) also installed. In my
view both should be reinstalled.
This would only really make sense if done recursively. If you think
about this for a moment you'll realise that it means reinstalling
large chunks of the system (kernel, glibc, other libraries).
