       Hi,

       I see the same behaviour upgrading from 4.7 to 4.8 a few days ago
       and looking at yum.log I see at the end of the upgrade :

       ...
       Jan 23 00:06:35 Installed: yum-conf-4x.noarch 4:1-8.SL
       Jan 23 00:06:36 Updated: iptables.i386 1.2.11-3.2.RHEL4
       ...
       Jan 23 00:06:40 Updated: vixie-cron.i386 4:4.1-57.el4
       Jan 23 00:06:43 Erased: yum-conf
       
       so it seems the last preuninstall scriptlet did :

       preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
       if [ $1 = 0 ]; then
        /sbin/chkconfig --del yum
        /sbin/service yum stop >> /dev/null
       fi
       
       I  think  the  problem  probably  comes   from  the  order  of
       installing yum-conf-4x and yum-conf.
