A package being "orphaned" just means that you didn't manually install them and they are no longer required as a dependency of anything else. In fact, the mechanism yum uses to track these might be confused by the partial upgrade. There are some rather important packages in that list you probably don't want to remove listed there, such as NetworkManager for instance. > When I attempt remove these, yum wants to remove packages from 18 as > well due to dependencies. Are there packages in 18 that depend on > packages from 17, and why would that be? That's not quite what's happening. You have a lot of packages on your system that are still at the F17 version, and that version just happens to satisfy the dependencies of F18 packages just fine. They would be equally happy if a F18 version took their place. > The list is quite a bit longer when not limiting it to packages from 17, > but I guess that's because packages are listed no other packages depend > on. > > What can I do about the packages that remain from 17 now? Go through > them one by one and see what happens when attempting to remove them? As I said previously, you probably really want to keep these packages; you just need to get them updated to F18. If we can fix distro-sync, we can fix this. > Services that didn't work anymore are now working again.

IIRC I need those (at > least) for the NVIDIA driver. What do I need to do about those? Hmm, the RPMFusion .repo files as installed by rpmfusion-(non)free-release don't hardcode the distribution version; they use $releasever to have yum figure it out for them. Did you see the number "17" in the rpmfusion-*.repo files themselves, or did yum report this? If yum is confused about the version of Fedora you are using that could explain why distro-sync is acting up. -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?
