I tried to do preupgrade on a System76 netbook running F14. It failed repeatedly, either complaining that I had to go release by release, which I had told it to do -- or offering to boot F15 on the grub splash, but failing. I got out my old F16 install disk, from about two weeks after the release, and told it to upgrade. It did, and I did yum update immediately. That failed, complaining of numerous duplicates, and I ran "yum clean all," and tried again with --skip-broken. That failed, too, this time complaining of lots of "Protected multilib versions." I ran "rpm --rebuilddb," then "yum clean all" again, then another plain "yum update." That also failed, ending with a mixture of "missing requires" and "duplicate." I know there's a command for dealing with orphans, and I presume one for duplicates. But I can't remember it, alas! I called up "man:rpm" and man:yum" in Konqueror, finding both pages over my head and monumental besides. I did spot "yum check duplicates," and tried that. There are so many that I can't scroll all the way back up; but most seem to be the same package except for f14 on one and f15 on the other. Can I do "you remove duplicates" or "yum remove *f14*" or something? -- Beartooth Staffwright, Not Quite Clueless Linux Power User I have precious (very precious!) little idea where up is. -- 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 Have a question?
