On my error above… I expected the error since it has been 100% reproducable over the last 2 days of doing this install, so I left a logged in session going. In there I did:
yum history list
yum history info X ( where X was the # of the latest entry )
yum history undo X ( where X was the # of the latest entry )
and I got:
