so please do not strip out such essential informations

as also you have for 16->17 to deal with the rpmdb
and update rpm BEFORE the dist-upgrade

and if you look a little bit closer you see that
"yum update" is simply wrong
_______________________________________

here again the steps F16->F17 so that anybody can see
that there may be IMPORTANT differences for each version

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upgrading_Fedora_using_yum#Fedora_16_-.3E_Fedora_17

- remove “ro” (read only)
- append “rw” (read write) to let dracut mount your root filesystem writeable
- remove “rhgb” (Red Hat graphical boot) to disable the graphical bootsplash
- append “rd.info” to get a more verbose output from dracut
- append “rd.convertfs” to enable the /usr-move conversion script in dracut
- append “enforcing=0” to disable SELinux enforcement

* reboot
* let UsrMove do it's work
* make sure the UsrMove-params are removed from grub.conf if set there

rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__*
rpm --rebuilddb
yum --releasever=17 update rpm
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__*
rpm --rebuilddb
yum --releasever=17 --disableplugin=presto distro-sync
fixfiles onboot
