What do you mean by "installed individually"?

Installing mythtv-suite won't work, since it doesn't explicitly require all 
the latest components, meaning having any 0.18.x version installed satisfies 
its deps. Probably best to specifically request each package to make sure you 
get the latest. If you happen to have i386 packages installed on x86_64 (rpm 
-q --qf='%{name}.%{arch}\n' \*myth\*), you may have to remove them first. 
Keep in mind that all your settings are in your db, so entirely removing 
everything and then reinstalling won't cost you anything (and you can install 
mythtv-suite, in that case).
