Good luck. That may have issues if the f14 packages need something that wasn't installed yet. Doing a yum downgrade with releasever set to 13 might get you back to where you were before the upgrade attempt. I have done a number of yum upgrades to go between Fedora releases that were done part at a time. (Sometimes because of not a enough free space on /; sometimes because of broken or missing obsoletes or retired packages without replacements and sometimes because something went wrong part way though the update.) So far I have always been able to keep going forward and complete the update. Sometimes you may need to remove some packages that are blocking updates but are not properly replaced in the next release. Finding those can be tricky when a big transaction is failing, but you can usually get some clues. Also you can update smaller groups of packages at once to try to work around the problem or make it easier to figure out what is blocking the transaction. -- 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
