What MTA? Did you reboot the machine?
Bear in mind that most MTAs fork to handle some of the process, if any of the libraries that is currently using have disappeared (they have been erased and replacements with different inode nos added), then forks will fail. I have done more or less exactly what you did, rebooted, it just works. Mind you I run exim with rpms that I maintain.
