Thanks for your reply.  Yes, I did have the i386 versions installed as
well, so its possible that was the issue.  Those were good
suggestions, but unfortunately, impatience got the better of me, and I
tried to force the upgrade, which then completely broke rpm.
Thankfully doing an upgrade with anaconda worked, so I'm back in
business.
