Don't upgrade yum separately first. While it may seem like a good strategy, I got burned by doing so in this exact situation. The yum got updated but the various python libs it depened on did not. This left a non runnable yum and a dependency hell to sort out manually.
Reduce your package count as much as possible and upgrade all at once.

This cannot happen with yum. OK, it can, but it would be a very very serious bug if it did, either in yum or in the packages themselves, and likely would be reported many times by more diligent people and fixed very quickly.
So update yum first, in case the initial version had a bug that was fixed.

That's why I like smart. It works really well. Ric
