The upgrade to 6.0 itself is a mess. rpm is upgraded to a new version
and this garbles the normal upgrade procedure. As a consequence, lots
of packages are upgraded incompletely. One of the most visibly
damaged packages is TeX/LaTeX.
After the upgrade, do
rpm --verify -a
All packages that are flagged as missing files need to be upgraded
manually with
rpm -U --force packagename.rpm
again. Packages where some configuration file does not have the right
checksum are harmless, obviously.
