As soon as engine is installed, it's rpm's are locked within yum, and
are not visible for manual upgrade. It is done to prevent updating RPMs
separately and not as an application.


Aha, so that´s what it was! Well, OK, I can understand the reasoning but as you can see it doesn´t quite work in practice since I was just updating packages as usual with "yum update" and as you can see, some packages were updated, while most weren´t. As for me, thanks to the backup-script provided by Sven Knoshalla, I actually took the plunge to backup eveything up, deinstall all of the packages, reinstall them again(with new version), and then restore config files back as they were. Thanks Sven!=)

I thought that "engine-upgrade" only was for major upgrades, and use yum for regular patches and such.

If all you want is to upgrade engine, simply run 'engine-upgrade'.

Let us know how it goes.
