Yes, this is exactly what happened to me -- I upgraded my system
(but mind you, via Anaconda, not yum), and none of the PA utilities
were installed. Being new to PA, I tried to install everything
that's needed, and to find that out, I did:

$ yum list '*pulse*'

That worked well, except for the pa* utilities. Now, without those
you are pretty much doomed, and I didn't even know for the longest
time that I should have been using them...
