There is also a plugin called upgrade-helper, I'm not sure what it does, but it sounds like it is relevant. Check your network connections with ifconfig. I think somewhere on the fedora website there is a link to the release info. You could download it directly, and put it someplace where preupgrade would expect to find it. Or run it yourself (I think it just installs the new keys and repositories) before starting preupgrade. This commits you of course, unless you have the previous release info and downgrade. Just some off the wall suggestions, I haven't run preupgrade since F7 to F9, though I might be upgrading that F9 to F10 shortly using preupgrade. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
