I appreciate what you say. However, I do not believe that this issue is release dependent.
I need a way to modify what I have so that fedup etc will run and enable me to upgrade to F20.
There must be a way for me to add the relevant definitions of RPMSENSE_GREATER etc so that the yum/fedup etc python works again.
Where is RPMSENSE_xxx defined (to Python) and how do I add that definition to yum?
Cheers and thanks, Stephen
