Hi all, Earlier today I tried upgrading my F13 system to F14 with preupgrade, but ran into the dreaded "Unable to read package metadata... cannot retrieve repository metadata..." error, which I've repeatedly encountered with preupdgrade previously. I tried moving /var/cache/yum to a different drive with more space but that didn't work. Finally, I moved the entire /var directory from a separate partition to the root partition, changing fstab accordingly, rebooting, and then finally the upgrade proceeded as it should. Don't know what the deal is with preupgrade, but in terms of paths and partitions etc it is hardly bulletproof. FWIW, Colin ----- Colin Brace Amsterdam http://lim.nl -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/F13--%3E-f14-via-preupgrade%3A-my-workaround-tp30126939p30126939.html Sent from the Fedora List mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
