Hello, helpful, friendly types. I have an old laptop that, for whatever reason, I can't install F10 on directly. I can't remember what the problem was, exactly, but the installer pukes or freezes or somesuch. So the machine has languished on a shelf for several months. Anyway, I decided to give it another go this weekend. My strategy was to install and update F9 then immediately upgrade to F10 over the network. So I booted my old F9 boot disk and installed F9 by FTP. Then I did a yum update and was surprised that only 5 packages would be updated. Only then did I recall the oldkey/newkey madness. I went ahead with the mini-update, that proceeded all the way to the end -- download, update, and cleanup, then failed with a long, cryptic backtrace. That's odd, I thought, but it seemed to accomplish the update, so I rebooted the machine and attempted the final update. No joy. Now all yum does is spend all night failing with "Bad checksum" on URL after URL trying to retrieve "updates-newkey" until I either kill it or it eventually (after a very long time) bails out with another backtrace. What I seem to have now is a perfectly running F9 system that can't be updated nor new packages installed. I've tried "yum clean all" which didn't help, and now I'm at the end of what I know how to do with any confidence. What can be done? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
