You've obviously already received your answer, but just wanted to point
out that running "yum list extras" will show you all of the packages
that are currently installed which are not available in currently
subscribed channels or enabled yum repositories.  This is basically the
RHEL5 equivalent of the old "up2date --show-orphans" feature.

After upgrades I've generally found it a good idea to use these features
to identify old packages which should be removed, or possibly 3rd party
packages which might need to be upgraded.

Later,
Tom
