Just to join in the fun and dancing:
Three machines: one home-assembled desktop (i5, 8GG RAM, etc); two Dell
laptops: D630 (Core 2 Duo CPU, 4GB RAM; E6220 - i5 CPU, 8GB RAM).
Started w/ the Desktop and made three efforts; on the first, it ended
challenging me to remove a perl-DBD-Pg-Test-FC21 package; on the second,
to remove google-earth-stable, on the third, it completed correctly.
However, on each try, a full download of all necessary packages was
necessary, requiring two hours each time (old school Verizon DSL).
(Was it necessary to do complete downloads? Couldn't these things have
been cached for the next effort?)
Having learned the lessons of upgrading the desktop, upgrading the E6220
from F22 to F23 went correctly.
The D630 needed to move from F21->F22->F23. The problem there was that on
F21, the Postgresql database version is incompatible (don't have the
numbers in my head) w/ that of F22 and F23. Somewhere there should be a
preamble on the next upgrade iteration that these sorts of things (those
PostgreSQL upgrades that require a backup-and-restore) need to be done
prior to advancing in Fedora releases. A nuisance (given that I have
backups and some experience) that probably took 15 minutes to handle.
fyi,
