Also, you could try a `yum clean all` and retry it; perhaps there's some stale data screwing up the works. Are you using a F17 yum/rpm or an F18 yum/rpm? (`rpm -q yum rpm` will tell you.) A mixture of these could also be causing issues. > Is there a way to get rid of the packages from 17 and to replace them > with those from 18 without breaking anything? This is exactly what `yum distro-sync` is supposed to do. Figuring out why it's unhappy is the first step to getting your system back into working order. > This is something the > package management is supposed to take care of in the first place so a > situation like this should never occur ... I'm not aware of any package manager that doesn't have issues like these from time to time. dpkg/apt aren't any better; I've seen Debian and Ubuntu upgrades go south and leave the system in an inconsistent state too. Remember, Murphy's Law always applies. ;-) -T.C. -- 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?
