If you have not followed this thread, then please read what I posted re: what failed. So the difficulty is not in following the instructions as outlined on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum but that yum would fail with many unresolvable conflicts and refuse to carry out the fully resolved dependencies. I had also wondered if the failure was perhaps due to the fact that F16 Beta repos may not be ready for the process to run yum update to F16. Also, as I had also stated, I had to disable rpmfusion, atrpms,... repos before undertaking this task, to avoid failures that are not related to vanilla fedora packages. So, I do not think that comparing ubuntu to fedora is helpful in this case. Perhaps ubuntu does a better job at upgrading than fedora does. I don't know. -- 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
