I had the same problem with PATH and X11R6. It is msec related. Look for *.rpmnew in /etc/profile.d and replace old files with rpmnew files.
Always check *.rpmnew files when updating RPMS. RPM try to be conservative and does not replace user configuration files in general. But this can be a problem when new functionnalities are introduced or old ones modified. URPMI shows warning messages about files not beeing replaced BUT RPMDRAKE DOES NOT REPORT THEM WHICH IS A PITY :) RPMDRAKE SHOULD DISPLAY A WINDOW SHOWING CONSOLE OUTPUT OF INSTALLATION.
