In the meantime I had used "yum provides" to find the specific rpms. When I reinstalled the package via "rpm -ivh --force" those files above were installed. Also /dev/lirc was missing, and reinstalled again via rpm the lirc package from dries, and /dev/lirc was installed. Perhaps yum/yumex lose packages? I hope not.
