This is common practice unless there is a significant change in any of the packaging utilities (e.g. when RPM changed to a sha256 hash). To give you an idea, this is what I have on my (never upgraded) F14 system: # uname -r 2.6.35.14-96.fc14.x86_64 # rpm -qa | grep -c -E 'fc14|noarch' 1707 # rpm -qa | grep -c fc13 170 # rpm -qa | grep -c fc12 149 # rpm -qa | grep -c fc11 8 # rpm -qa | grep -c fc10 1 And since you pointed to the fedora wiki page, I think I can safely assume you did a distro-sync after the upgrade. Despite all the precautions an upgrade is a complicated process and often things go wrong. Since you have tried all 3 methods and failed, have you considered if there is any common point of failure which is hampering all the methods? Just a few thoughts. Hope this helps. PS: My experience with upgrades have been extremely smooth, specially when I used preupgrade. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
