Assuming nnn == number of days since you did the upgrade, you could
always do this horribly disk-intensive and probably way, way
under-optimised bit of shell plumbing:

find /usr -type f -ctime nnn -exec rpm -qf {} \; | sort -u 

That's going to tell you what files were created on that day, and then
find the RPMs they come from. Blunt and crude, but it might help!
