Just wanted to add that I too did the update on one of my F8 myth boxes
(i386) and lirc seems broken on my system as well.  I have both a serial IR
connection controlled by lirc, which I use for changing the channel on my
STB, and an ATI USB remote.  The STB channel changing is still working, but
the ATI remote is not.  I was only able to do a little bit of
troubleshooting, and it is possible that my issue is totally unrelated to
the updates, as I have had issues with getting both devices working properly
together in the past.  I did unplug the USB connection and plug it back in;
and the system recognized this.  I rebooted my system a couple of times but
it did not help.  I also tried running lirc in "no daemon" mode and it did
not respond to any key presses.  I need to do more testing and
troubleshooting before I can say for sure whether the issues are related to
the update, but I figured I would report it.
