I tried "yum update preupgrade," as usual, and got nothing, as usual; then I tried plain preupgrade -- and got a bunch of messages; after a while, I got back to that machine (still without telling it to go ahead), and found a lot more messages. Maybe they'll tell somebody something. <sigh> Here they are : [root@BBB ~]# preupgrade /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yum/__init__.py:203: UserWarning: Use .preconf instead of passing args to _getConfig warnings.warn('Use .preconf instead of passing args to _getConfig') Loaded plugins: blacklist, dellsysidplugin, dellsysidplugin2, priorities, : refresh-packagekit, whiteout preupgrade-main (mirrorlist) url: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=fedora-12&arch= $basearch now: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist? repo=fedora-12&arch=i386 preupgrade (mirrorlist) url: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?path=pub/fedora/linux/ releases/12/Fed ora/$basearch/os now: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?path=pub/fedora/linux/ releases/12/Fed ora/i386/os preupgrade-fedora (mirrorlist) url: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-12&arch=i386 now: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-12&arch=i386 unknown metadata being downloaded: metalink preupgrade-updates (mirrorlist) url: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released- f12&arch=i386 now:unknown metadata being downloaded: metalink preupgrade-updates (mirrorlist) url: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released- f12&arch=i386 now: https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released- f12&arch=i386 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 240, in on_assistant_apply self._do_main() File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 259, in _do_main self.main_preupgrade() File "/usr/share/preupgrade/preupgrade-gtk.py", line 436, in main_preupgrade download_progressbar=self.dnlProgress) File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/preupgrade/__init__.py", line 130, in setup self.complete_repo_setup() File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/preupgrade/__init__.py", line 328, in complete_repo_setup repo._grabfunc.opts.user_agent = __user_agent__ AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'opts' -- Beartooth Staffwright, Neo-Redneck Not Quite Clueless Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
