Well, you can track the update history of a package just by going to
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/ and searching for the package
by name (note SRPM name, not binary RPM name). Each update page has
links to the Koji (buildsystem) page for the build, from which you could
download older builds, and install them with 'yum downgrade XXX.rpm' to
try them out. Just try downgrading possibly-related packages and see if
it starts working.

You can use 'yum history' to see what packages were changed in a given
update, if you can narrow it down to a specific update that you think
broke things: 'yum history list' gives a list of yum transactions, and
'yum history info (number)' will give you the packages that changed in a
specific transaction.
