Request Tracker issues
After updating apache, perl modules may get out of sync and you'll see this error in /var/log/httpd/*error_log:
Can't locate object method "content_type" via package "Apache2::RequestRec" at /usr/local/rt3/bin/webmux.pl line 109.\n
Run this to fix it: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Apache2'
